The ideas of Karl Polanyi's 'The Great Transformation' have often been referred to in the recent debates that have emerged as a reaction to the rise of neo-liberal policies. This paper deals with contradictory interpretations of the notion of social protectionism in the work of Karl Polanyi. There are two opposing interpretations distinguished here. The first interprets social protectionism as a balancing principle of economic liberalism. The second understands social protectionism as a part of market pathology. In order to assess the validity of competing interpretations, the author puts forth an account of social protectionism in the context of Polanyi's theory of the economy and society. The author concludes that the popular notion of social protectionism as a balancing principle of economic liberalism does not correspond to Polanyi's theory. In addition, the author offers a skeptical commentary on the utility of Polanyi for understanding social protectionism in social analysis.

The key theses of the study emphasizes the finiteness of meaning in contrast to economic determinism as a normative starting point of K. Polanyi’s and E. Tugendhat’s vision of democratic society, controlled by its citizens. This egalitarian point of departure of defence of social human rights is at the same time the answer to their common dilemma, hidden in conflicting relationship of primacy of right to own to right to life. Taking into account Tugendhat’s critique of libertarian concept of “free” social contract as the will to power in connection with Polanyi’s unmasking of automaton of libertarian spontaneous equilibrium as political construct and self-destructing illusion, the study shows that the drop out of social rights in this concept is based on the nominalist grasp of reality, in relation to which any form of collective self-determination seems to be the enemy of freedom. The second presupposition of this drop out is to be found in the libertarian idea of the natural order of free market connected with the ideal of negative freedom and trickle down economy, based on the illusion of reality consisting of unlimited resources and the cooperation of already self-sufficient, healthy and adult owners of the sources of subsistence.
