They were brothers, I think, but somewhat different thinkers…

When I see people in polisci talking abut tacit knowledge they  
generally draw on either Giddens (who draws on Polanyi himself) or  
Wittgenstein. Lately some IR scholars have been using Bourdieu to get  
at something similar in their analysis of practice. So the author  
might not be there, but the topic is -- at least on the margins.
