Abstracts

PL
In subject literature, only a little amount of research exists that links considerations on the level of economic effectiveness and findings regarding ethics of inequality. Minimal research is conducted on the influence of stratification on the level of development (regarding different factors that mediate the relation). However, the social approach to the former is not taken into consideration. Therefore, a problem the author would like to solve is the question of an association between ethical rules accepted by the members of a society as a determinant of actions regarding inequalities and purposes that dominate in economic practice. The aim is to justify that the character of beliefs in society regarding stratification (that are mirrored in ethical concepts as regards inequalities) has an influence on economic effectiveness. The basis of the author’s conclusions is a review of the literature.

W literaturze przedmiotu niewiele jest badań, które łączyłyby rozważania dotyczące poziomu wyników ekonomicznych z ustaleniami etycznymi odnośnie do zjawiska nierówności. Bada się jedynie wpływ głębokości rozwarstwienia na tempo rozwoju (z uwzględnieniem różnych czynników pośredniczących), nie biorąc pod uwagę charakteru postaw etycznych wobec tego pierwszego. Dlatego też problemem podjętym w opracowaniu jest pytanie o związek między przyjęciem przez członków danego społeczeństwa określonej postawy wobec problemu rozwarstwienia a zamierzeniami, które dominują w praktyce gospodarczej. Celem autora jest przedstawienie uzasadnienia, że charakter przekonań etycznych w społeczeństwie wobec rozwarstwienia (znajdujących odzwierciedlenie w koncepcjach etycznych odnośnie zjawiska nierówności, zgodnie z ich klasyfikacją zaproponowaną przez F. Stewart) ma wpływ naefektywność ekonomiczną. Podstawą formułowanych wniosków jest przegląd literatury przedmiotu polsko- i obcojęzycznej.
