Even the army of innovative Poles will not help, if Poland cannot create new industries in the next twenty years. It is nice “The Economist” suggests Poland may be entering second Jagiellonian Age, but in fact we are more threatened by technological collapse. Thus we may be compared to Jagiellonians without fields, which were a key to Poland’s economic growth of the past. In a healthy society both disruptive and sustaining innovation drive technological progress. However, in Poland there is not much to sustain. The pathology of post-communist privatization left Poland without strategic industries. Now only new industries may save us.
