Non-Capitalist Mixed Economies: A Polanyian Approach

Together with the Institute for Spatial and Socio-Ecological Transformations (ISSET) at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) and the Chamber of Labor Vienna (AK Wien) we cordially invite you to the Public Lecture “Non-Capitalist Mixed Economies: A Polanyian Approach“ by Attila Melegh (University of Budapest) on Saturday November 30^th at 9am as the second of three public events as part of our expert workshop on “Democratic Economic Planning in Times of Planetary Crises” taking place at WU Vienna from November 29-30, 2024. Given the urgency of forming a cohesive and powerful post-capitalist vision of future ecological planning, economic coordination, directed technological change and societal design, this international workshop will bring together diverse approaches to democratic economic planning.

Abstract:
In his talk, Attila Melegh aims to reinterpret and analyse historical and current non-capitalist or dual/mixed capitalist models as potential solutions to the systemic crisis of capitalism. Drawing inspiration from Karl Polanyi and other critical traditions, Melegh will explore how various forms of markets have combined with redistributive, reciprocity, and householding relations to create economies capable of producing broad-based prosperity and stability. The focus will be on East European experiments, with consideration of Asian, African, and American socialist models, particularly the Chinese version – all will be critically analysed through Polanyian and other critical frameworks.

Participation is only possible with prior registration here. You can also sign-up to join online.
