Previous speakers in this series addressed the celebrated contribution of Sir Arthur Lewis to intellectual and public life in the Caribbean - as scholar, teacher, administrator and role model to a remarkably creative generation of West Indian economists. In his inaugural address, Rex Nettleford, reminded us that this eminent economist and Nobel Laureate was, in the final analysis, a great educator and guru to his people both in the Caribbean and the Third World who perceived their future and any hope of redemption to rest firmly on the exercise of their intellect and their imagination.

Dear Prof. Polanyi Levitt,
My name is Kobi (Jacob) Inbar and I’m a faculty member at the Department of Economics and Business Management at Ariel University, Israel. I have been reading and studying Karl Polanyi for the last several years now and find myself fascinated by his forward-looking and prophetic work.
While at the same time, I was surprised to find out how little is known about Karl Polanyi’s work (not to say ignorance) among my colleagues in the university, let alone among the students. My surprise was even bigger when I found out that there is no exist a Hebrew version of “The Great Transformation”!!
I participated recently at the 3rd Polanyi Seminar held in Roskilde University in Denmark, in collaboration with EMES and you Institute. I had the chance to meet Prof. Marguerite Mendell and discuss this with her. She mentioned that to the best of her knowledge, a Hebrew translation is on its way already. First, if this is true, I’m glad to hear that. I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know how holds the rights for the Hebrew translation has so that I’ll be able to contact him/her, and when do you think it is expected to be published (by whom; under which publisher). I would very much like to recommend it to my students as well as for our university library.
I very much thank you in advance and would be happy to be in touch and exchange thoughts and ideas.
I’m using this platform to convey my message to you since I could not find your direct e-mail address. Would appreciate it very much if you would accept to share it with me so that we could use e-mails instead.
With my best and warmest regards,
Kobi Inbar

Dear Ms Polanyi,
I dont know your work yet, but i have been to a university in france in toulouse where the teachers and the teachings claim to belong to a polanyi approach.
I have been to benin a few years ago.
I want to read your father’s last book “Dahomey and the slave trade”. It’s been a long time i want to read it but sometimes it requires time, effort, courage and dedication just to reach to a book..
Though I am outraged that it is not published more widely and only amazon is selling it. What a shame!
I would like to know if you know an electronic version i could buy, or a paper version that is not more than 100$ on amazon?
I dont have your email, i am sorry to contact you through this comment on your website.
Best regards,
Aurelien
