The rise of the financial sector – and alteration of its functions in capitalism – has been discussed not only by economists but also by sociologists and political economists. Financialization is “(…) the increasing role of financial motives, financial markets, financial actors and financial institutions in the operation of the domestic and international economies” (Epstein 2005: 2). It is not a brand new process in sociology. However its scale and nature become an ever more popular element of the current diagnoses. Its main assumption is that crises of capita list economies are not anomalies and their scale is dependent on the (lack of) control according to the market laws. The idea that the form of crises and their scale seem to be even more grave and take into account the interdependencies between national economies is becoming paradigmatic in the social sciences. The analysis starts with a review of financialization theories, proposed in political economy and sociology. I then empirically examine the Polish financial sector of the last 15 years with a particular focus on the role of mortgages.

In many scientific discussions about youth attitudes in political or public sphere we don’t notice results of change of youth’s way of life. However, we have to spot that the new model of everyday life eliminates politics and different political problems, because they don’t present themselves as attractive issues. Politics is placed very low in value hierarchy of young people. They are passive on a political arena during their free time. Politics is not so frequent a topic of conversations with family or friends. In the article the author presents data to prove his point that appreciable part of young Europeans (especially young Poles) prefers „depoliticized” way of life.

PL

W naukowej refleksji nad postawami młodych ludzi w sferze politycznej czy publicznej rzadko zwraca się uwagę na konsekwencje zmiany młodzieżowego stylu życia. Tymczasem nowy model postępowania w życiu codziennym w gruncie rzeczy pomija politykę i wszystko co polityczne, jako obiekty mało atrakcyjne. W hierarchiach wartości młodzi ludzie przyznają polityce marginalne miejsce. Nie stanowi ona również wypełnienia czasu wolnego, który młode pokolenie woli poświęcić rozrywce. Rzadko bywa ona przedmiotem konwersacji z najbliższym otoczeniem – rodziną czy przyjaciółmi. Na podstawie zaprezentowanych danych autor stara się uargumentować tezę, że znaczna część młodego pokolenia mieszkańców Unii Europejskiej (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem młodych Polaków) preferuje „zdepolityzowany” styl życia.

The text is focused on the analysis of the relation between God and war in political thinking interpreted by the controversial Carl Schmitt. It performs the analysis on the background of Schmitt's theory of the political and the political theology. In the first case, the theory of the political, based on the possibility of distinguishing the friend and the enemy, shows to be compatible with Christian political thinking and with Christian concept of man as a being capable of responsibility. This immanent context of Schmitt's political thinking leads to the need of establishing and analyzing the relation of God and war (violence). In the second regard, Schmitt's historical-epistemological model is presented on the background of political theology as project and program; the model relativizes the enlightened rationalist claim and rehabilitates, for the space of the political, also myth or faith as non-negligible political and epistemological factor that, at the same time, prevents instrumentalization of polis. A complement to political theology as historical-political process consists in political theology as a project taking into account theology, belief in God, together with systematic considering of facticity of violence. Thus the relation of God and war can be analyzed at two levels; both of them are discussed in the article. First, at the level of its withdrawal from political thinking and of the consequences resulting from it. And second, from the perspective of its function in political thinking that would correspond to human character as 'complexio oppositorum'.
