波兰尼:寻找自由之路

Polanyi:Pursuing the Road of Liberty

波兰尼聚焦于对市场经济弊端和自由主义的批判中。虽然波兰尼一直被疑似为社会主义者,但他与社会主义却有着实质性的区别,他并不反对市场本身,竞争性市场仍将继续发挥它的功能。然而从"社会市场"到"市场社会"的转变,意味着嵌入社会的市场走向了脱嵌,贫困等一系列问题也随之产生。因此波兰尼所追求的自由根植在社会之中,存在于特定的生活、文化和制度之中,与人的本体性安全相一致。自由的实现不能没有权力和规则的保护,需要国家的保障。

Polanyi focuses criticizing the defects of market economy and the liberalism. Although Polanyi has long been suspected as a socialist, he is substantially different from a socialist. He does not oppose to the market itself and holds that competitive market will continue to play its function. However, the transformation from the ＂social market＂ to ＂market society＂ means that the market embedded in society is dis-embedded from the society, thus a series of problems such as poverty will follow. Therefore, the freedom Polanyi is pursuing is rooted in the society and exists in certain life, culture and system, consistent with people＇s ontological security. The realization of freedom cannot live without the protection of power and rules and the safeguard from the nation.
