In the recent years the term 'social capital' has come into wide use in many different social sciences. Recently has been also growing interest in links between social capital and economic performance. It has become common for economic theorists and researchers to observe and analyze the trust, social networks, social norms and voluntary associations. It is claimed that social capital is a complementary factor to other forms of capital that may help to explain the different levels of prosperity and different rates of economic development among countries. Paper surveys research on social capital in Poland. Article critically reviews the Polish theoretical studies on the role of social capital; the author explores concepts of social capital in Polish economic and sociologic literature. Paper also provides investigations of empirical research on the social capital in Poland. This part of analysis is mainly based on two surveys: 'Diagnoza Społeczna 2005' and bulletins of CBOS. The author argues that while the Polish economic literature has started to produce both theoretical insight and empirical research on social capital, a number of conceptual and statistical problems exist. This is a cause to continue the efforts.

The paper analyzes the economic thought of the late Spanish scholastics and shows that they have made a meaningful contribution to the development of economics. It aims at proving that these authors deserve the name of originators of the scientific economic knowledge. The literary output of the 16th century's Spanish thinkers includes, apart from theological and juridical texts, also reflections on economic problems that, by their substance and nature, have been ahead of many economic conceptions. The reflections developed by the Spanish scholastics make the germ of progressive thoughts and ideas considered today as free-market and liberal. Their reflections also present sometimes very radical appraisal of certain phenomena and suggest a just, from the point of view of moral philosophy, solution to the difficulties that appear in the economic life. The paper starts with considerations that describe this group and bring nearer their times whereas its main part is a presentation of the most important economic ideas of the representatives of the Spanish scholastic economics. Then, the perception and appraisal of their output in the economic literature are presented. The links between the scholastic economics and the Austrian school of economics are discussed as well

The article takes up the issue of the low weight that is attributed to the history of economic thought in economic research. The authors aim at substantiating the thesis that the enquiry into the paths of development of economics in the past has great relevance for the contemporary thinking on economic theory and the results of investigative work of researchers. They attempt to prove that the orientation in the history of economic thought albeit not indispensable for the mastering of modern economics or its research toolbox, might greatly help economists' cognizance and skills in their endeavors to follow and understand contemporary phenomena, irrespective of their particular fields of interest. Comments and considerations concerning the attitudes of historians of economic thought toward the contemporary situation conclude the article.

The paper is an attempt of reconstruction of a few methodological assumptions of chosen representatives of the Cracovian school, eg. Adam Krzyzanowski, Adam Heydel, and Ferdynand Zweig. Even a brief presentation of work of these economists allows to notice differences among them regarding the subject of economics and scientific methods. For example, methodological assumptions of Krzyzanowski and Zweig are closer to classical economics, while the approach of Heydel is more in accord with neoclassical economics. Methodological differences among them were not a barrier for the Cracovian school to propose a common stand in regard to liberal economy assumptions.
