Throughout the paper, as the title might suggest, there is running commentary with respect to the relationship between Kornai's work and 'mainstream economics'. The underlying question throughout the paper is why Kornai's work did not become more influential in the mainstream, if Kornai offered all the necessary ingredients mfor his work to become more recognised than it has actually been. Csaba's concern is that "Given his unparalleled embeddedness in the Western academic world ever since the mid-1960s...his highly original and equally unusually influential ideas have had a limited, if any, impact on mainstream economics, as taught in global economics programmes at PhD level". Csaba's narrative suggests that there was a kind of progression in Kornai's work that should have made him acceptable to the mainstream, but that, in the end, his "subject nof analysis as well as the conditions under which the author formulated his academic interests... kept him within the confines of institutional economics". Due to space limitations I will only focus on two aspects that are important from the perspective of the philosophy of economics. (fragment of text)
