The main work of one of the most important representatives of a brilliant generation of Viennese intellectuals from interwar Austria, The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi remains even today a fascinating and instructive reading, although its once prophetic character has worn-out. Both as a work of analysis and as social criticism, it has profoundly put a mark on historical sociology and economic history, influencing benchmark writers such as Immanuel Wallerstein, Fernand Braudel or M.I. Finley, and is perhaps the most lasting intellectual contribution given by the unorthodox, evolutionary or reformist, Marxism after the revisionist dispute, carried out by Eduard Bernstein inside the German socialist party.
