| 总结: | This article highlights the power of the imaginary and of representations in what gives meaning and content to economy. It reminds us that it were the theories of economic liberalism which ideologically invented market economy as a natural and universal principle of economic organisation of human societies, thus overshadowing the straightforward political dimension of the forms taken by societies’ economic institution. The author appeals to Karl Polanyi to criticize this alleged universal dimension of a market economy which caused a historical shift by setting society under the control of economic laws claimed as natural by the liberal ideology. |
