Death of a Yuppie Dream. The Rise and Fall of the Professional-Managerial Class At its wealthier end, skilled professionals continue to jump ship for more lucrative posts in direct service to capital: Scientists give up their research to become “quants” on Wall Street; physicians can double their incomes by finding work as investment analysts for the finance industry or by setting up “concierge” practices serving the wealthy....

The free market is an impossible utopia Free market doctrine aims to liberate the economy from government “interference”, but Polanyi challenges the very idea that markets and governments are separate and autonomous entities.

Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that."...

Trickle-down effect: Zombie of economic policy The idea was that the rich would benefit first, but the poor would eventually benefit as well. This is the famous trickle-down theory, which was never better described than by Harvard professor John Kenneth Galbraith, who claimed that this was what was called the “horse and sparrow” theory in the 1890s: “If you feed the horse enough oats, some of it will make its way to the sparrows.”...
