The main topic of the article is the attitude of modern liberal thought to the role of the state in contemporary market economy. The market mechanism of allocation works to-day in conjunction with supporting and corrective policies of the government. In discussing this model present-day liberalism is contrasted with the neo-liberal doctrine. Liberalism perceives the role of the state as a co-regulator of the economy, whose intervention is particularly important with regard to equitable distribution of incomes. It is wrong to believe that liberalism is opposed to pro-social programmes. By contrast, anti-social programmes are characteristic of the neo-liberal ideology whose claim to represent the sole correct interpretation of economic theory is totally groundless.

Assessment of the Polish transformation proved to be a controversial subject. Over a number of years it seemed clear that transformation was highly successful in introducing rather quickly a democratic liberal system together with a market economy. Lately, however, this was put in doubt, when an anti-liberal stand was adopted by the governing party and the idea of creating a state based on social solidarity was announced, while issues of economic policies received only minor attention. This represented an attempt to change the actual role of the state. For economics the nature of the economic system and the role of the state are the issues of fundamental importance. It is nowadays widely agreed that the market mechanism, although essential for economic efficiency, cannot be left to itself in view of the menace it creates for future development. Active government is needed both to assist and to apply corrective policies. These ideas found expression in the programmes of the European Union which determine the responsibility of the state in influencing the development processes by working out a rational blend of economic, social and ecological policies.

Nieciunski wrote an essay based on five important and basic questions about social order and modernization of Poland.

What changes occurred during restitution of capitalism (systemic transformation) and what consequences did they have? What antagonisms and conflicts shape Poland's external environment? What kind of goals and activities for modernization should we promote to remove Poland's civilizational delay? What systemic arrangements can ensure conciliatory resolution of unavoidable internal conflicts as well as creation of conditions favorable to general progress of Polish society and realization of goals necessary for modernization? Twenty prominent figures from Polish academic community agreed to answer and to discuss points made by professor W. Nieciunski.
