I think Polanyi had a point. The creation of the market and the economy as abstract entities to which other parts of life should be subservient - a surprisingly modern idea - is the root of the evil in modern liberalism - itself a concept mostly disconnected from its root. What I always find surprising is that, as soon as it’s made abstract enough, even humanist and rational people are apparently ready to defend the worst atrocities. Just set your priorities in the right orders. If you find yourself defending a system which see sick people die in the street in one of the richest country in the world and history, you are probably in the wrong.
