Wow! According to Wikipedia, she is still alive in 2023 and 100 years old, so she would have been 97 here. I had her as a professor of economic development in the 1980s, when I was an economics student at McGill University. That was about 37-38 years ago. Her father Karl Polaniy's book, The Great Transformation, is a work of genius, and absolutely blew my mind when I read it.
And all is right. But the roots of the many problems ( poverty is not mentioned!) is , at the end: the power of the billionairs, the unlimited greed by a few.
Doesn't the bible say "Eat Not of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge"? (wrt. Polanyi's Information Technology threat trends). People haven't understood the meaning of that biblical phrase?

Then why are you even reading or writing?
Scary and depressing. Not much hope out there for this 24 year old.
