No, I have not heard of Polanyi but my education is lacking in Economics. I used Hume extensively in a Theology term paper in high school, else his name would not have stuck out so clearly.

If you wish to get another book which includes a large section on the financial markets between the 1920s and 1930s try "The House of Morgan". It details the Morgan operations from circa 1840 through about 1990.

Do you mean Karl Polyani? Polyani was quite brilliant, there is no doubt about that. He was also a Marxian (Gramsci division), and it is through this lens that he viewed all of economics. I would suggest that you read America's Great Depression by Murray Rothbard as a counterbalance to Polyani on the issue of the causes of the Great Depression.
