He has been awarded a one year Leverhulme Research Fellowship which will commence in September 2014 allowing him to complete a research monograph on a Polanyian reading of the economic reasoning in both historical and post-2008 financial crisis contexts. The title of the Fellowship is 'Visions of perfectibility: state, market and alternatives in the formation of economic ideas'. He has edited a special issue on the 70th anniversary of The Great Transformation which will appear in the journal Economy and Society in November 2014. It deals in particular with the complexity of today’s world in contrast to the world Polanyi lived in; and his tendency to simplify the issues he wrote about. The journal will feature the work of Nancy Fraser, Chris Hann, Gareth Dale and Warwick’s Matthew Watson.
