Carlyle’s relationship to the German and English Romantics has received much critical scrutiny. However, despite Carlyle close friendship with Southey, no study of the two, to my knowledge, has been undertaken. Carlyle writes meaningfully of their meetings, and his Reminiscences sketches their many encounters. Even before their first meeting, Carlyle valued Southey’s sense of the Romantic. The relationship also caused Carlyle to reflect on the struggle of great men and on the particular angst writers experience. Largely unrecognized, too, is Southey’s role in popularizing the Saint Simonians, which in turn would stage Carlyle’s commentary on them, identifying key points of correspondence to his own beliefs. Southey also caused Carlyle to understand and then to empathize with the disposition of an exhausted sage, and from Southey he derived his critique of feudal industrialism, inept governmental leadership, bankrupt culture, economic disparity, dispossessed workers, and the despised poor. Southey’s views on industrialism, market economy, and labor would receive wholesale adoption by Carlyle. Southey’s reward in all of this is how approvingly he is remembered by Carlyle, when so many of his contemporaries were disparaged. Despite a certain shyness and nervous disposition, which Carlyle considered a feminine trait, “blue blushes and red,” Southey emerges as affectionate, godly, empathetic, loyal, industrious, and chivalrous. The stuff of which he was comprised were, Carlyle felt, “things rare and worth, at once pious and true.”

Since the neoclassical school, the separation between facts and values, is and ought, positive and normative, has become a concern in conventional economic analyses. Economics should focus on facts, and present general principles, leaving the choice of various technical alternatives to policy makers. This article addresses the following questions: can economics, seen as a positive science, be separated from the political dimension? Is it possible to separate facts from values or are they necessarily intertwined?After showing how the separation between economics and moral philosophy unfolded throughout the history of economic thought, the article analyses the factvalue dichotomy discussion and concludes that facts and values are necessarily intertwined. Then, the article shows that the premises and theories of conventional economic theories contain hidden values, despite being presented as universal truths on which policies are based, and thus fail to discuss the various perspectives of the problems.Reviving a tradition commenced by Aristotle, the article concludes by arguing that economics is necessarily moral and political. However, the acknowledgement of the normative nature of economics cannot compromise the pursuit of objectivity.

John Bloch (1839–1902) was a railroad tycoon, banker, social activist, philanthropist and man of science. He was shortlisted for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1902 for his multi-volume work entitled The Future of War in its Technical, Economic and Political Relations, which was dubbed ‘the bible of pacifism.’ Thanks to his multilayered activities he perfectly fits the positivist ideals of his time. Despite this, due to the course of history and ‘unfavourable circumstances’ for featuring his figure, for decades he was largely forgotten.The goal of this article is to present Jon Bloch and his works in the fields of entrepreneurship, science and most of all his attempts in aid of peace. I will present his major pacifist hypotheses and arguments which are included in his work The Future of War. The author substituted the usual religious and humanitarian arguments in aid of peace, with economic assertions. Published in many languages, the book became essential reading for the intellectuals and politicians at the break of 20th c., while Bloch gained the nickname of ‘the father of contemporary pacifism.’ In order to verify the legitimacy of this claim I will contrast Bloch’s work to a work entitled The Great Illusion, by Norman Angell. Published in 1909, eleven years after the first publication of The Future of War, Angell’s The Great Illusion is wellknown to the Anglo-Saxon readership.

The paper discuss the early age of forming social and economic catholic teaching in XIV–XVI. Appearing of economy from the area of theology was discussed as phenomenon of school from Salamanca and the influence scholastic on Adam Smith. The separation of economy and theology on the contrary was discussed as phenomenon of liberal project of state and market economy. The conclusion is, that economics as a science of separated aspects of human life is a subsidiary discipline of social catholic teaching.

The research focuses on a phenomenon with a political, cultural and sociological nature – war. One purpose of my research is to link this phenomenon with the economy. The wider purpose is to raise political science and sociology to a higher level of analysis with the aim of reducing and unifying the social sciences to a stricter level of analysis. This research objective uses the example of war, and enlists mathematical instruments associated not only with the business cycle. Tests are performed on the example of the U.S. business cycle and that country’s military activity. The research shows the reciprocal relationship of these events, the state of the U.S. economy, determined by variations in the parameters of the national income and related to a growing propensity for military activity, which in turn, as the research shows, reduces the number of wars on a global scale. Other aspects of the paper include a description of the history of the research process, the phenomenon of war and issues and problems from the philosophy of science.

The presented study includes an analysis of the category of ‘good’ on the basis of philosophy and economics. Particular attention was paid here to the factors determining the monetary value (price) of an economic good. While achieving the assumed objective of the research, answers to the following questions were sought: What is the difference, therefore, in the interpretation of good as an axiomatic category and good which the economy deals with? What is the basis for the valuation of goods which are the subject of economic analysis? While seeking answers to these questions, an attempt was made to justify the thesis according to which contemporary understanding of the way of valuating goods by the market is limited to accepting the price understood as a variable representing a kind of relationship set in a given time period.

One of the fundamental methodological problems of economics as a separate science is the question whether economic theorists are able to restrict themselves to the description of facts without assessing them. Is it possible to create an economic theory utterly deprived of value judgements? In other words – is economics a positive science? This problem is still debatable, notwithstanding efforts to eradicate all value judgements from economic analysis and to treat it as a touchstone of the scientificity of economic reasoning. The main purpose of the article is to analyse Sedláček arguments and to confront his stance with other approaches. Furthermore, an attempt is made to assess whether his position could be attractive for contemporary mainstream economists.

The author undertakes the philosophical problem of the role that should be performed in human life by material goods (means of subsistence), which are produced by human beings, and by which a person is able to live and perfect herself or himself. This phenomenon is extremely important considering the many transformations that are occurring before our eyes in the domain of economic production. All of these events are symbolized by the replacement of classical economics with a contemporary understanding of the economy. These changes are accompanied by many important transformations in culture, the life of family, society, and the state and these changes are affecting the global world as well. But above all, these changes affect usually with negative results human life itself. The existence of the so-called ‘civilization of death: is a proof of this. Therefore, a concern for a proper understanding and running of the sphere of the human production of material goods becomes indispensable. A particular task in this domain belongs to realistic philosophy, which has at its disposal the appropriate means to recognize and explain reality, and is able to supply the contemporary man with an integral conception of the human life, including how life is connected with producing material goods, i.e. the means of living.

Sometimes you may judge the book by its cover. Those familiar with the works of Guglielmo Meardi know very well that his name as the author usually signals a controversial, if not a provocative content. Italian-born Meardi, who currently is the Head of prestigious Industrial Relations Research Unit at the Warwick Business School, has been covering developments in the field of work and employment relations in Europe for more than two decades, paying special attention to transformations of that field in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). He pioneered field research in the Polish a# liates of multinational corporations. In $%%$ Meardi stepped forward with a thesis that fuzziness, disorganization and hybridity of Polish industrial relations make our country look like an ‘American Trojan horse (Meardi 2002), posing a threat to the foundations of European Social Model. Ten years later the Author does not hesitate to formulate even more acute diagnosis, writing openly about EU’s lack of capability to maintain the social dimension of European integration after the 2004-2007 enlargement. In his book Meardi claims that the accession of post-communist countries to the EU produced a convenient excuse for undermining the idea of the intrinsic nature of work as a value, which should not be assessed only from a market perspective, as either profitable or not. What happened in the New Member States (NMS) from the CEE after the accession, serves as the evidence.

Stanisław Głąbiński (1862–1941) professor at the Lvov University, the author of a two volume work entitled „National economics” is a representative of the historical-national trend in Polish economics. The subject matter of his concept of national economics is the national economy which is a higher rank entity, encompassing all economic entities in the country that are related materially and spiritually. Bonds that link individuals into a higher rank entity, i.e. a nation, are reflected in the term ‘social resources’. Głąbiński understands them as moral and material heritage of past generations that influences attitudes of the contemporary generation. He divides them into moral and material resources, and especially emphasizes the importance of the former ones. In the concept of moral resources, Głąbiński included his claims concerning the whole socio-ethical conditions of economic processes. He appreciated the influence exerted by the changes in the ethical viewpoint of the society on the economic activity as well as on the shaping of the sense of duty towards the whole society. Special emphasis placed in Głąbiński’s economic theory on the role of ethical motives undoubtedly springs from the influence exerted by the German historical school and, in particular, by Bruno Hildebrand. It also is a result of the effect of Polish economic thought including in particular the views of Fryderyk Skarbek and Józef Supiński. According to Głąbiński, the most important constituent element of material resources was finance, understood by him as stocks of economic goods.

The author of article proves that in the era of the globalization the institutional order of national economy is influenced by the distorted competition which results in domination of the managers and technicians of great corporations. It is their businesses that define the economic policy. In the world of asymmetric information, oligopolistic competition, political market and progressive commercialization of the axiological sphere the rules of thinking and acting are merely reduced to the strategy of self-advantage. This situation results in ineffective institutional protection at the global, regional and national levels. To remove social inequalities effectively it is necessary to have control over the dominating groups in society and to develop coherent norms of institutional protection. There is also a need for the development of human capital and its modernization as a common notion of moral values of society and the individual.

Nowadays, no one could question the fact that in the post-communist countries the laws of economics work in the same way as in the countries in which the communist system has never prevailed. Yet the long-term results of a strategy implemented in the 1990s for the economic transformation, for social life have become visible just now which means that a formulation of a diagnosis encompassing the entirety of the results of “the shock” transformation for the individual aspects of social life is possible only now. From this point of view, we are still living in the period which one can recognise for the great economic experiment.

In this essay I would like to outline the Christian perspective on solving economic issues based on documents of the Catholic Church. The term ‘economic personalism’ appeared in literature several years ago and has been used as a proposal of a new economic model which is supposed to be a synthesis of achievements of economic sciences and Christian moral theology. Pope John Paul II is believed to be one of its precursors or even founding-fathers. We shall sum up these significant elements of papal personalism under the following heads: (1) A man is a person, namely an independent existence in material and personal, spiritual and material sense, rational and free. All these characteristics of a human being constitute a basis for his dignity and greatness; (2) A man is a free being. This means that he has to make choices between various values. Human freedom is closely related to the truth. The final objective of human freedom is love; (3) We can protect ourselves against alienation by acting and being together with others. We will avoid the danger of alienation when we make ourselves a gift for the other person and especially for God. Economic personalism develops John Paul II’s personalistic view in a creative way. Its program can be summarized by the following theses: (1) a man is the centre of economy; (2) a human being is the most important economic good; (3) work is part of the man’s calling; (4) reproducibility of goods is subordinated to the man’s integral development; (5) the right to participate constitutes inalienable human right; (6) the principle of subsidiary is an „intellectual” frame for social and economic order; (7) the market should not be absolutized; (8) solidarity with the poor and social justice constitute a basis of each economy.

This article sums up the results of research oriented to analyze dynamics and outputs related to the development of two different technological parks in the North-East of Italy: the Area Science Park of Trieste and the Vega of Venezia. The research has tried to find an answer to the following question: what is the regulation model more efficient to implement good innovation policies? The article argues that, to achieve an efficient innovation governance, it is needed a strong regulation by the innovation broker - the central hub of the innovation network, able to support interactions among innovation-makers and innovation-takers. To test this hypothesis, the empirical research has used both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In the Area Science Park, good innovation performance appears strictly connected to strong regulation of the technological transfer process. In the Vega, differently, low innovation performances are combined with weak innovation regulation. The paper concludes that institutional settings at the local level can be powered by a model of governance innovation able to combine autonomous interactions among main actors involved in technological innovation with a strong regulation of the process by the innovation broker.

Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, na czym powinna polegać społeczna odpowiedzialność uniwersytetu ekonomicznego, w kontekście zapoczątkowanego w 2005 r. procesu przekształcenia polskich uczelni ekonomicznych w uniwersytety ekonomiczne. Autor uważa, że taka zmiana nazwy uczelni ekonomicznej powinna pociągnąć za sobą istotną zmianę sposobu myślenia całej wspólnoty akademickiej oraz zmianę w sposobie jej działania. Zarówno myślenie, jak i działanie wspólnoty uniwersytetu ekonomicznego powinno wynikać z dążenia do prawdy i chęci realizacji zasady uniwersalności nie tylko horyzontalnej, polegającej na otwarciu się na inne dziedziny i rodzaje wiedzy, lecz przede wszystkim wertykalnej, polegającej na pogłębianiu wiedzy. Ta postawa powinna przejawiać się w większej otwartości na prawdę o samym człowieku. Wyrazem tego powinna być koncentracja edukacji i badań wokół trzech postaw człowieka: „być”, „mieć” i „nie mieć” oraz ich wzajemnych relacji. Autor zgłasza postulaty działań, które mogłyby pomóc w dostosowaniu się wspólnot akademickich do nowych zadań wynikających ze zmiany statusu uczelni, a zarazem mogłyby dopomóc w odbudowaniu autorytetu uniwersytetu ekonomicznego. Postulowane działania powinny opierać się na fundamencie miłości i troski o człowieka, a nie na kategorii zysku ekonomicznego. Od wyboru systemu wartości zależy to, jakie dziedzictwo kulturowe uczelnia przekaże przyszłym pokoleniom.

The paper tries to answer the question about the social responsibility of an economic university, in the context of the reform introduced in the Polish system of higher education in 2005, which allowed to transform the former economic academies into economic universities. The author believes that such a change in the name of the economic school should imply a significant change in the manner of thinking and acting of the academic community. Its thinking and behaviour should be consistent with the strive after truth and with the principle of universality, both horizontal - in the sense of being open to other fields and kinds of knowledge, and vertical – the desire to deepen the knowledge. This attitude should be reflected in an increased openness to the truth about the man, with the resulting concentration of education and research activities, on the three dimensions of human behaviour: ‘to be’, ‘to have’, and ‘not to have’. The author puts forward some proposals how to adjust the communities involved to new tasks resulting from the change in the academic status of their schools, the implementation of which could also help to restore the authority of the economic university. The proposed actions should be based on the foundation of love and a true concern for man, not on the profit motive. The choice of a paper value system will determine the kind of the cultural heritage transferred by the university onto future generations.

Статья представляет собой попытку ответа на вопрос, в чем должна состоять социальная ответственность экономического университета в контексте начатого в 2005 г. процесса преобразования польских экономических вузов в экономические университеты. Автор считает, что такое изменение названия экономического вуза должно повлечь за собой существенное изменение способа мышления всего академического сообщества, а также изменение способа его деятельности. Как мышление, так и деятельность сообщества экономического университета, должны вытекать из стремления к правде и желания осуществить принцип универсальности не только горизонтального характера, состоящего в открытости на другие области и виды знаний, но и вертикального характера, состоящего в углублении знаний. Такой подход должен проявляться в большей открытости на правду о самом человеке. Проявлением этого должно быть сосредоточение образования и исследований вокруг трех позиций человека: „быть”, „иметь” и „не иметь”, а также их взаимоотношений. Автор выдвигает постулаты действий, которые могли бы помочь в адаптации академических сообществ к новым задачам, вытекающим из изменения статуса вуза, и одновременно могли бы помочь в восстановлении авторитета экономического университета. Предлагаемые меры должны опираться на фундамент любви и заботы о человеке, а не на категорию экономической прибыли. От выбора системы ценностей зависит то, какое культурное наследие вуз передаст последующим поколениям.
