The paper is dedicated to analysis of the globalization concept that is considered through the prism of ideas of Karl Polanyi, the well-known economic sociologist and anthropologist. In his work Great Transformation Polanyi has explained the process of the world-wide market expansion of the 19th-early 20th centuries, that is the actual process of globalization of the 19th – early 20th century, as well as the causes of its failure. This process, as is shown by Polanyi, was directed by the project of economic liberalism and gave rise to a whole complex of negative social consequences. The conception of the world-wide market expansion and criticism of Polanyi’s economic liberalism favours a better comprehension of the essence, social consequences and prospects of a new wave of globalization of late 20th – early 21st centuries and neoliberal project assumed as its basis. A conclusion has been formulated according to which, as a results of the action of the mechanism of “double motion” revealed by Polanyi, the neoliberal globalization of the 19th-early 20th century failed utterly. There is the substantiation that Polanyi connected the final overcoming of contradictions of the world-wide market expansion and renewal of the unity of “economy” and “society” with transition to socialism.
