The next (25) part of Cooperative Thought Library reminds of articles of two Polish professors: S. Bukowiecki's 'Social work and the state' and J. Kurnatowski's 'Solidarity', which appeared in 1929 in the 'Yearbook of Social and Political Sciences of the Free Polish University'.

In his paper, the author proves that market failure theory does not explain the subject of the public sector. The rule of social inclusion and availability of goods needs normative justification, which is the need for cohesion and solidarity. What groups a society together are institutions which determine realization of individual and common interests. Internalized institutions create modus operandi in all aspects of social life. Reproduction of social solidarity is determined by rules of social justice. Implementation of these rules imposes on a state the responsibility to make social primary goods accessible (according to J. Rawls' theory) or to strengthen the ability to participate in social life (A. Sen).

Recent studies on social solidarity have been concentrated either on the theoretical exploration of the phenomenon or on the investigation of solidarity aspects in empirical studies of little social groups. The paper presents a theory of social solidarity and a measurement instrument to study the phenomenon on the general level of Ukrainian society. The authoress provides the description of methodic issues as well as analysis strategy and interpretation framework. Based on the data provided by Institute of Sociology in Kiev, three different indices are computed to describe normative and structural aspects of social solidarity. Using structural equation modeling the relationships between concepts of the theory are specified and explained.

The paper shows a socially significant problem of poverty that results from injustice and hidden exploitation. A response to the threat of the sin of social injustice and economic exploitation of the weaker is the postulate to build a supportive society in which the richer and the stronger – being aware of the bonds that tie one human family – take responsibility for the poorer and the weaker. The postulate of tolerance is not sufficient as tolerance is merely a postulate that is enough for justice to occur; tolerance does not cause justice, though, nor does it assure it. It is not until the emergence of solidarity that the suffering and hardship of other people are recognised as a matter of one’s own responsibility, and their mitigation, or even elimination, becomes acknowledged as one’s duty. At a time of crisis, shortages and lacks human attitudes are verified; characters and maturity run the test of responsibility for all members of a community, especially those members who have been harmed by social injustice.

The research examined in which extent the social attitude and the actual acting, respectively paying willingness match on the area of environmental protection, more specifically in the area of selective waste collection. The results revealed that the environmental legislation and investments do not always get support from the inhabitants. Despite the overall social support of the implementation, not all specific financial and application - aspects are supported widely. Besides the main hypothesis, the authors also examined aspects influencing the acting and paying willingness. Based on the research results one might conclude that the two strongest influencing factors are access to information and using democratic opportunities. Age plays a significant role as well: the youth and the elderly are less motivated than the middle-aged. Their hypothesis of the social distrust from the past being one of the most important obstacle to acting has been proved. Contrary to the hypothesis, this cannot be significantly influenced even by sanctions. Distrust in the other members of the society has a strong influence on the acting and paying willingness. Based on the results, one might assume that the drive of environmental acting is mainly the social solidarity towards future generations. This assumption is supported by the fact, that families with children have a more active environmental awareness. Religion and gender play less influence.
