The crucial aim of the political economy of J.S. Mill was, according to his comments, to find ways of solving the most important social problems of his times. He believed that it was possible to improve the economic situation of lower classes and to raise the level of happiness in society. Thus, particular attention has been paid to his concepts of state intervention and projects of socio-economic reforms. Mill's projects clearly demonstrate that although Mill was definitely a political liberal himself, he was fascinated by some of the economic ideas of socialism, too. His efforts of uniting liberal and socialist economic concepts greatly contributed to the validity of the liberal approach to welfare-state concept, while Mill himself could be characterized as a forerunner of a socio-liberal style of thought, represented also by J.M. Keynes or J. Rawls.

This article reconstructs the mechanisms underlying elections to supervisory boards of public media. The analysis is based on protocols of hearings conducted by the Parliamentary Investigation Commission, which investigated mechanisms of a paid protection and log-rolling among political elites in the so-called Rywin-gate. Starting from a description of clientelist connections under the communist regime and the role played by the nomenclature, the authors associate the mechanisms occurring during the previous regime with those observed in the National Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting (KRRiT). From a formal point of view, the current procedures of selection to supervisory boards of public media differ from the nomenclature rules which applied during the communist time. Nevertheless, both of them resulted in similar development of informal connections and group interests. The rules of appointment in the post-communist Poland imitate the informal structures developed by the previous regime. The selection to supervisory boards exemplifies the mechanisms of reproduction of political elites and the cooptation inherited from communism.
