The article presents the view that the introduction of the personalistic paradigm into entrepreneurship will enable integral economic growth and remove the causes of today’s crisis, that is economism and instrumental rationality. Personalism, which recognizes man as a conscious person experiencing self and others, has special qualities for application. This is the most useful approach to philosophical and ethical analysis of the modern enterprise. In this article the focus is on a company managed according to personalistic ethics. Entrepreneurship in the personalistic approach is the art of management, which increases the area of common good.

The undeniable fact is that various social sciences and other disciplines constitute the research perspective which relates to the practice of a multidimensional phenomenon. The welfare state is an excellent example of such notion, which in its nature unifies many theoretical and practical positions. It seems, however, that the economic and political dimensions of the welfare state (as conceptual or pro-social proposals) are disproportionately exposed both on the basis of scientific reflection and pragmatic approaches used by the institutions of the state. This tendency to think in economic and political terms, which incidentally is maintained for several decades, represents: (a) only one side of a complex nature of social welfare, and (b) a significant reductionism, leading to the elimination of sociological, cultural, educational, and psychological consequences of the functioning of the welfare state. This article is designed to reverse the trend of the dominant perception of the construct of the welfare state in economic and political terms, and replace it with the highlight of the mainly sociological dimension of this phenomenon (the welfare state sociology). However, it does not mean abandonment of the economic and political dimensions in general, as they are an integral part of the issue.

According to Bourdieu, there are various forms of capital. It is with this contribution thathe is most commonly identified. Yet, the aim of this paper a is to show that the Bourdieusianframework brought about (or created) more harm than actual good. Paradoxically,whilst Bourdieu is commonly regarded as a culturalist, his approach is grounded in economismor economic imperialism2. This squeezing of the extra-economic phenomena intoan economic straightjacket, leads necessarily to the latter, i.e. the concept of capital beingover-stretched. In turn, the notion of cultural capital suffers from crude physicalism andunder-specification.

Celem artykułu jest analiza przejawów i genezy neoliberalnego ekonomizmu, który odgrywa kluczową rolę w dyskursie publicznym we współczesnej Polsce. Autor omawia jego znaczenie w wielu obszarach życia społecznego i polityki publicznej, często redukowanych tylko do wymiaru ekonomicznego. W szczególności dużo miejsca poświęcono tu pojawieniu się tej narracji w Polsce w przełomowym momencie transformacji ustrojowej po upadku komunizmu w 1989 r., tj. w okresie przygotowania i realizacji gospodarczej „terapii szokowej” w latach 1989-91. Omówiono szereg zewnętrznych i krajowych przyczyn, jakie legły u podstaw przyjęcia w tym czasie koncepcji szybkich i radykalnych reform rynkowych, znanej jako Plan Balcerowicza. Pokazując niektóre konsekwencje ekspansji czysto ekonomicznego punktu widzenia na pozaekonomiczne sfery życia, takie jak służba zdrowia czy edukacja, artykuł zwraca uwagę na znaczenie inercji instytucjonalnej oraz zależności od ścieżki (path dependence) w kształtowaniu trajektorii rozwojowej Polski. Rozważania są inspirowane podejściem konstruktywistycznym oraz instytucjonalizmem socjologicznym, które podkreślają wielki wpływ dyskursu publicznego, narracji i języka na zmianę społeczną.

The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the symptoms and genesis of neoliberal economism, which plays a key role in the public discourse in contemporary Poland. The author examines its significance in many areas of social life and in public policies, which are often reduced to just their economic dimensions. In particular, the main focus is placed on appearance of this narrative in Poland at the critical juncture of the systemic transformation following the fall of communism in 1989, i.e. in the period of the preparation and implementation of the economic “shock therapy” in the years 1989-1991. Several external and domestic reasons underlying adoption of the concept of rapid and radical market reforms (known as the ‘Balcerowicz Plan’) at that time are discussed. By presenting some consequences of the expansion of a purely economic perspective into noneconomic domains such as social services, the article draws attention to importance of institutional inertia and path dependence in Poland’s developmental trajectory. The reflections are inspired by the constructivist approach and sociological institutionalism, which place stress on the large impact of public discourses, narratives, and language on social change.
