The origin of the term Great Transformation was Karl Polanyi's book[1] of that title published in 1944 which discussed the transformation that occurred when the Industrialization of the 1800's tried to adapt to the Globalization of the 1900's. Now we are faced with the transformation to a society basically run by Artificial Intelligence with the hope to avoid some cataclysm like the Great Depression.
