POLANYI'S PENDULUM: FROM DE-DEMOCRATIZATION TO SOCIAL RESISTANCE
Abstract
This article aims to describe, on the one hand, the main economic and political transformations started in the early 1970s as a new phase of commodification based on the hypothesis that such commodification has required a dedemocratization of social and economic life. On the other hand, it analyzes the character of the resistance movements that have arisen against these processes. Its interpretative hypothesis is that current countermoves are helping to create a new moral economy of the crowd that turns the defense of public goods into a way to guarantee the right to livelihood and social existence.
