“Bringing to Readers the fi rst of four monographs in the “Economists for Development” publishing series we trust that it may stimulate insightful refl ections on the actual, desirable, and possible directions of socioeconomic development and on the role that economists may play in shaping it. At the same time, we hope that this volume will encourage our Readers to peruse the remaining three monographs in the series.”

Excerpt from Publisher’s Note

“The publication deals with the economic sciences and their philosophical foundations, models of capitalism, as well as the legal, social, and economic aspects of Poland’s transformation. It sets in relief the theoretical issues underlying the role of the economic sciences as well as the possibilities to apply their tools in economic policymaking. The subject matter of the book is compelling as it refl ects the breadth of interest in these issues under the current economic circumstances prevalent in Poland and around the
world. The discussed problems are interesting not only for scholarly reasons, but also because they offer an opportunity for assessment and for drawing practical implications.”

Excerpt from review by Prof. Robert Ciborowski

“The monograph presents the outcome of the 10th Congress of Polish Economists, which was held in Warsaw on November 28–29, 2019 under the slogan “Economists for Development.” This publication is the fi rst in a series of congress monographs. It consists of texts dealing with fundamental challenges to economic theory in the context of socioeconomic
processes. The volume contains a very good analysis of the condition of the contemporary economic sciences against the backdrop of processes unfolding around the world, and especially in our country.

It provides a good diagnosis as well as a good program for the future in terms of both economic sciences and policy.”
