Kamar yadda Karl Polanyi ya bayyana, jari-hujja (capitalism) abu ne mai ban mamaki - domin tsari ne da ake tafiyar da alakokin zamantakewa ta hanyar alakokin tattalin arziki. Wannan ya sha bamban da tsarin da ya gabata, inda hulɗar tattalin arziki ke biyo bayan alakokin zamantakewa20. Jari-hujja kuma yana fama da manyan matsalolin ra'ayi (conceptual problems):

As Karl Polanyi argues, capitalism is an anomaly - for it is a system, where social relations are determined by economic relations. This is unlike in previous systems where economic interactions follow from social relations20. Capitalism suffers from bigger conceptual problems:

1. Haɗa buƙatu da hanyoyin biyan su.

1. Mixing needs and their means of satisfaction.

2. Bukatu kawai na abin duniya ne.

2. Needs are only materialistic.

3. Kayayyaki da ayyuka ba su da alaƙa da tsarin al'umma.

3. Commodities and services are not related to the structure of the society.

Waɗannan zato sun jefa al'ummomi da duniya cikin rikici, duka na zahiri da na tunani. Nan gaba babu shakka za a yi gyara; gyara tsarin da ba za a iya gyara shi ba yana nufin maye gurbinsa da wani tsari madadin sa.

These assumptions have left societies and the world in disarray both physically and intellectually. The future will certainly see a correction; correction of a non-correctable system entails replacing it with an alternative system.
