The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- He argues that market-based societies in modern Europe were not inevitable but historically contingent.
- Polanyi is remembered best as the originator of substantivism, a cultural version of economics, which emphasizes the way economies are embedded in society and culture.
