With reference to Karl Polanyi’s political economy analysis of the “Great Transformation“ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Maja Göpel argues for a “Great Mindshift“ that can help us to steer the next „Great Transformation“ in more sustainable directions. This book is not only a key contribution to the current transformation debate, it is also a milestone for the Wuppertal Institute. Maja Göpel has developed a key element of a more profound theory of transformation, which is essential for the sustainability debate of our times.
