Karl Polanyi - The Great Transformation - for it or against it?

I ran into this recommandation somwhere, on the way to find some new atitudes towards (macro/micro) economy.
did anyone read this one by this guy?

was it worth it? worth time?
in dis expensive days ; )

I linked to the book and author on the left hand side "About." There are a couple of good reviews. He does sound very interesting.

Interesting?: yes - thanks for bringing to my attention. Already having some opinion about it/him: no, sorry, never heard of him before.
