The objective of the paper is to investigate selected elements of the privtisation processes in Central and Eastern Europe. This vital part of economic policy played – in the transformation phase – a key role in shaping the new socio-economic order as well as it brought about a number of important implications (valid up to the present) in many spheres of life. Shifting from the centrally planned state economy to the free-market one based on the private property took place in CEE in the „heat” of neoliberal ideology. In this critical moment one could observe a redefinition of the relations between the market and the state, shifting the gravity point towards the more liberal solutions and the domination of market efficiency logic over the logic of the so called „public good”. Controversies over the methods, mechanisms and consequences (direct and indirect) of privatisation, especially the social ones, require advanced academic reflection.

Choć istnieje kilka istotniejszych pytań niż to, czy możliwa jest realnaalternatywa dla kapitalizmu, radykalna teoria społeczna unikała podjęcia tej kwestiiwprost – mimo tego, że teoretyczne i praktyczne koszty stwierdzenia „nie ma alternatywydla kapitalizmu” są powszechnie znane. Esej ten dowodzi, że przeszkodaw zakreśleniu realnej alternatywy musi mieć początek w rewizji marksowskiej krytykikapitalizmu, jak również jego oceny ówczesnych komunistycznych i socjalistycznychtendencji. Z marksowską krytyką logiki kapitału i niemożnością uchwyceniajej przez radykalnych myślicieli jego czasów związana jest określona wizjaspołeczeństwa postkapitalistycznego, którą współczesne ruchy społeczne lekceważąna własne ryzyko. Spoglądając ponownie na dzieła Marksa przez pryzmat tego, jak mogą one nam pomóc w wyobrażeniu sobie życia po kapitalizmie, będziemy być może w stanie dostrzec gruntowne znaczenie, jakie mają współcześnie jego prace.

Although few questions are more important than whether a viablealternative to capitalism is possible, radical theory has tendedto shy away from directly engaging the issue – even whenthe theoretical and practical cost of the claim that “there is noalternative to capitalism” is acknowledged. This essay arguesthat the barrier towards envisioning a viable alternative needsto begin by revisiting Marx’s critique of capitalism as well ashis many criticisms of the socialist and communist tendenciesof his time. Implicit in Marx’s critique of the logic of capitaland the failure of radical theoreticians in his time to comprehendit is a specific concept of a post-capitalist society thattoday’s social movements neglect to their peril. By re-visitingMarx’s body of work in light of what it offers for envisioning lifeafter capitalism, we may be able to grasp how deeply his workspeaks to us today.

150th anniversary of Marx’s Das Kapital calls for yet another contemporary evaluation of Karl Marx’s legacy. The article argues that Marx’s most important and the longest standing contribution into social science is not „historical materialism” nor any particular form of “critical theory” – it is the concept of capital as a specific mode of creating value. The article seeks to extract the six major features of capital as described by Marx and demonstrate their conceptual originality and novelty. It also shows how numerous contemporary social scientist borrow and apply this category to the fields quite remote from Marx’s own research terrain. But the fact of multiplicity of capitals and quite remarkable homologies between them should not lead us to premature conclusion namely that the social world can be adequately represented as a system or hierarchy of capitals.
