The modern politics deals with the issues and problems requiring long-term antici-pation. Moreover, the political responsibility does not reach any limits and the technolo-gical development, and dynamic character of the reality increase a gap between the exer¬cising the power and anticipation of the long-term consequences of the human actions. The state should be the ”sward of justice” and the institution transforming the me-taphysical responsibility into real one. The market, being the sum of the decisions of in-dividuals, is not able to cultivate the values, which can help the individuals to be respon-sible for their actions
As an individual acts within the reality which is determined by the social elements, it is crucial for it to comply with traditions and norms. The capitalistic system has created specific mechanisms, performing the role of strengthener of the whole system and enabling the cooperation of all individuals. As a result, in modern economics, the profit motive has been elevated from being merely a key plank in optimising societal benefit, to becoming the sole purpose of economies.
Artykuł skupia się na analizie definicji wartości w ogóle, kryteriach klasyfikacji stosowanych w ramach teorii wartości, a także zagadnieniu wartości ekonomicznych. Na niektórych etapach swojego rozwoju teoria ekonomii nadawała pojęciu wartości znaczenie kluczowe, obecnie natomiast stało się ono nieco drugorzędnym zagadnieniem, ustępując miejsca problemom sfery realnej. Teoria wartości jest z kolei zagadnieniem niosącym w sobie dużo wieloznaczności, co nie jest atutem we współczesnym jednoznacznym i technologicznym świecie.

The main subject of the article is the definition of theory of value, the criteria used within this theory in describing the types of value, and finally the economic values as a distinct part of the whole theory. The history of economic thought awarded the theory of value with a privileged position, but those times have passed and now the problems of economy and real life seem to be more important. Moreover, the theory of value is very ambiguous, what additionally makes it nearly impossible to become core issue of modern economics.
The society is a complex formation consisting of relations, impacts and roles. The need of satisfying the needs was embedded into the society as a mechanism providing the coherence. The democracy acting on the basis of the abstract rule of equality before the law, requires the usage of different mechanisms which guarantee the continuity of the law system. As the bureaucracy became a part of the social organism functioning within the capitalistic and democratic conditions, it enabled the change of the community actions into rational and regular ones.
