My point of departure in this piece is the putative “under‑urbanization” of East and Central European cities, still very much entrenched in the global urban studies literature. I explain this by harking back to the classic of Polish urban studies (such as Paweł Rybicki and Marcin Czerwiński) and their concept of umiastowienie, as opposed to urbanization. They employed it in order to explain the “urbanization without cities” that unfolded in the socialist Poland. I then turn towards an analysis of the idiosyncracies of the “territorial logic of power” (Giovanni Arrighi and David Harvey’s term) in Poland. I agrue that its stems from the way “scale” and “property” work in Polish cities. Drawing my examples form the city of Poznań, I describe what Katherine Verdery dubbed as “fuzzy” property regime and explain how this results in the absence of the “gentrification frontier” – a concept coined by Neil Smith. Instaed, I argue that gentrification is more scattered and we can speak of a shifting “gentrificaiton front”, wherein the speculative and largelly local capital initiates the gentrification cycle from the “weakest link” in the chain of property structure.

Usually, current financial crisis of 2008 is compared to the Great Depression of 1929. But there are some evidence that our current financial crisis has much more similarities and analogies to the crisis initiated by the panic in 1907. A brief analysis of both crises is presented. This analysis is conducted on the basis of the history of the United States of America, where both mentioned crises were initiated. However, we will search for the answer to the basic question, namely: how events in the early twentieth century shaped the history of the economies in the next hundred years, and how expected changes in the institutional arrangements after 2008 may be comparable to the revolutionary changes of the social order after 1907 (e.g., appearance of the FEDeral Reserve System in 1913, the adoption of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, enabling the collection of taxes on personal income, growth and omnipotence of government agencies)?

Celem rozważań jest próba przedstawienia całościowej i uporządkowanej wiedzy na temat ekonomicznych i kulturowo-politycznych przyczyn korupcji w Polsce po 2004 roku. Również teza postawiona na wstępie, mówiąca, że korupcja jest następstwem ekonomicznych i polityczno-kulturowych uwarunkowań w Polsce, okazała się prawdziwa, bowiem na drodze analizy udało się dowieść, że głównymi przyczynami korupcji w Polsce, po uzyskaniu członkostwa w UE, są, po pierwsze, uwarunkowania ekonomiczne, na co wskazały źródła korupcji w Polsce w teorii ekonomistów-funkcjonalistów i neofunkcjonalistów, ich odniesienie do współczesnej rzeczywistości w Polsce. Po drugie – kulturowo-polityczne – wskazujące na źródła w tradycji i kulturze politycznej w różnych okresach historycznych Polski, to jest od czasów saskich, przez niemiecką okupację i okres realnego socjalizmu, aż po okres transformacji ustrojowej, na co wskazuje również literatura przedmiotu.

An aim of considerations is an attempt to present comprehensive and organised knowledge on the economic and cultural-political reasons of corruption in Poland after the year 2004. Also the thesis put at the beginning, saying that corruption is a consequence of economic and political-cultural determinants in Poland – proved to be true as by way of analysis it was possible to ascertain that the main reasons for corruption in Poland, having acquired its membership in the EU, are, first, economic determinants what was indicated by the sources of corruption in Poland in the theory of economists-functionalists and neo-functionalists, reference thereof to the contemporary reality in Poland. Second, cultural and political, indicating the sources in the political tradition and culture in various historical periods of Poland, i.e. from the Saxon times, through the German occupation and the period of real socialism, till the period of systems transformation what is also indicated by the subject literature.
