Firstly, the article endeavors to define the various concept of capitalism as well as to catalogue studies of socio-economic systems contained in contemporary literature. Described are the key drivers of a free-market economy that provide the basis for further classification. Having surveyed diverse models of capitalism, the positions of individual states have been displayed. States classed within individual model groups have been then ranked vis-a-vis their competitive factors. The classification and analyses have subsequently led to a more general recommendation in respect of the desirable direction of economic expansion in Poland.

This paper examines structural dependencies within the national innovation systems of 125 countries in period 2006 – 2008. Some 37 partial indicators from the World Economic Forum and World Bank databases are aggregated into 11 independent and 2 dependent variables. Variable relations account for distinctive non-linear dynamics and are modelled via two-step cluster analysis and artificial neural networks. Overall quality of education system, property rights, law and ethics, and competition forces are identified by major predictors for innovativeness. The paper also examines some assumptions by the varieties of capitalism theory on institution complementarities and level of innovativeness. No evidence is found for liberal (coordinated) economies having more efficient innovation systems than mixed ones.

The article presents Russian Romantics’ reflections on Western culture, highlighting their views on capitalism and rationalism. Russian thinkers regarded farewell with religious outlook and the associated development of capitalism as unambiguously negative. According to them, capitalism led to egocentric perception of reality and finally to demise of culture. They called capitalism ‘a contemporary form of barbarism’ as it encouraged fighting and increased the desire to possess. They claimed it would precipitate an acute crisis resulting in regression of civilization. The capitalism-induced process of degradation of Western culture was accelerated by the affirmation of reason. Rationalism limited human freedom. The views were expressed in the oeuvre of the poet Alexei Khomakov and of the historians Stepan Shevyriov and Mikhail Pogodin, as well as, in a more structured manner, in Vladimir Odoyevsky’s novel titled ‘Russian Nights’ (1844).

The article aims to verify the popular thesis that capitalism inevitably leads to the democratic system. In author's opinion such an assumption is a part of the threatening postpolitical ideology. According to postpolitical ideology the decisions on the most important social problems shouldn't be a political issue, but the concern of experts and managers acting in the name of capitalist-liberal consensus. However, stresses the author, in the first part of the article, during two last centuries the cornerstones of democracy - that is: civic rights, gender equality, education for all, equal chances in the public sphere - weren't a 'gift' of the capitalist system but an effect of emancipatory efforts of different social groups. It is not the market but the public policy who is responsible for achieving the public welfare. In the second part of the article discusses the neoliberal ideology threats to democracy, that is: the apotheosis of consumption and the depreciation of the idea of the common good.

The article introduces feminist political economy as an analytical tool or interpretative frame for exploring current economic crisis. In the beginning of the article, the authors focus on the wider context of feminist theories and approaches to capitalism within their development. The point is to show that contemporary feminist critiques of global capitalism tie in with the earlier tradition of feminist thought. In the next part, the authors introduce the theoretical grounds and basic theses of feminist political economy through the work of V. Spike Peterson and J. K. Gibson-Graham. The last part of the article focuses on specific issues linked to the current crisis of global capitalism and on the questions raised by this approach. The main questions are: how can we describe the crisis and what solutions can we search for? Is it a crisis of the hegemonic capitalist mode of production, a crisis of the capitalocentrist order, or just a crisis of certain institutions? Is the current economic crisis only a negative phenomenon, or does it open the way to establishing alternative paradigms to that of the global hegemony of capitalism?

The special feature of this issue is debate concerning explanations of the new social order in Poland and remedies to its internal problems after 1989. Professor W. Nieciunski wrote an essay based on five important and basic questions about social order and modernization of Poland. What were the sources of 1989 revolution and decay of the state socialism in the Soviet Union? What changes occurred during restitution of capitalism (systemic transformation) and what consequences did they have? What antagonisms and conflicts shape Poland's external environment? What kind of goals and activities for modernization should we promote to remove Poland's civilizational delay? What systemic arrangements can ensure conciliatory resolution of unavoidable internal conflicts as well as creation of conditions favorable to general progress of Polish society and realization of goals necessary for modernization? Twenty prominent figures from Polish academic community agreed to answer and to discuss points made by professor W. Nieciunski.

The work deals with the civilization trajectory of human reality which is marked by dichotomy of its own progressive and regressive features. In the intellectual tradition of Europe, there is the core of the desire to be recognized as a human being in an idea of dignity, freedom and moral will, supported by the power of human reason. The abovementioned characteristics limit and at the same time allow the reflection of steady conceptual structures in the evolution of modern liberal democracies, The perspective of awareness of ambiguity and paradoxical content of individual parameters of liberal democracy, ideologically shaped and fixed by worldviews of economic and political elites, from our point of view, is a mirror image of how those conditions differ from the standard assumptions formulated in theory.

ANOMALY AS A METHOD: A SURVEY OF CHINESE MICRO-THEORIES OF TRANSITION

The teleology of transition to capitalism in general and China's turn to capitalism in particular prescribe for observers of China an academic agenda preoccupied with the conditions of establishing capitalism. Studies of transition in China have up to this point lacked bottom-up, past-oriented, and inside-out perspectives that would allow the formation of discourse for the masses, presumably driven by the force of transition to respond from their indigenous positions. To find what possible stories there could be if such perspectives that are not intellectually intelligible from the transition point of view are to be translated into transition narratives is the purpose of this paper. Epistemologically interpreting the case at hand as an anomaly could be a useful methodology to ameliorate the deterministic and teleological proclivity in the current literature on transition. In this way, agents of transition are more than agents. They acquire insights into micro-perspectives on transition that are not allowed in the teleology toward liberalism. Agents of transition could participate in transition research by articulating, consciously as well as subconsciously, how they have strategically practiced transition, making researchers of macro-transition equal partners in transition.

The main goal of the article is to prove that today cultural sciences replace sciences on nature in the role of fundamental sciences. Author tries to show that cultural sciences are now fundamental ones taking into account two different aspects of being fundametal: theoretical one and political one. He uses some arguments taken from Jerzy Kmita’s works to support his own position. They are connected mostly with Kmita’s thesis about the primary role of culturally created vision of the world as the necessary background of each knowledge. The political aspect of fundamental role playing today by cultural sciences is linked with the main role played by information in today world and especially in so called cognitive capitalism. Author’s thesis is that cultural sciences can take critical shape showing the relative character of all dogmas of today capitalism or they can play effective role in capitalist world as important and useful element of its mechanisms.

A fast devastation of natural environment, wasteful exploitation of natural resources and accumulation of technological dangers is now taking place on the global scale. It seems to be impossible to counter-act these processes without executing a controlled slow down of economic growth and scientific-technological development. In this article the author examines the possibilities to limit growth in socialism - defined as a system where private property plays small role and economy is directed mainly with the use of command and control methods. He discusses in turn: the determinants which make deliberate slow down of economic growth in socialism unlikely; the difficulties of central coordination of economy in the condition of limited growth; and factors which support the politics of near zero growth in socialism. He also compares socialism with capitalism and proposes that policy of near zero growth is somewhat more probable in the first of these social orders. In the last section of this article he argues that a return of socialism is a real eventuality: 1. Accumulation of civilizational dangers pushes the state to expand which in turn makes the control of many spheres of social life more and more tightly. 2. Capitalism is destabilized by the fast growth of social inequalities on the global scale, especially in rich countries. 3. Foreign debt of United States is huge and it is still growing which makes the breakdown of its economy (and consequently a world-wide slump) more and more probable. Realisation of this scenario would lead to serious de-legitimisation of capitalism. It is hard to guess whether socialism can return before the devastation of natural environment, exploitation of natural resources and mounting technological dangers make it impossible. It is now probable, that soon we can expect the emergence of social order that will be in many ways similar to that which existed before the era of industrialisation.

The paper examines the social and institutional dimensions of art history in post-communist Slovakia. Art history itself an often-presumed neutral autonomous science – though brutally contaminated ideologically in the previous regime – struggles today with several problems. Not only a lack of self-reflection on the discipline and its methods and a lack of critical dialogue with past practices, but a new socio-economic framework outline the set of questions that need to be asked. The fundamental question, which the author asks, is how the science entitled art historiography is constituted and how it distributes knowledge under new conditions through concrete institutions.

The paper is dedicated to analysis of the globalization concept that is considered through the prism of ideas of Karl Polanyi, the well-known economic sociologist and anthropologist. In his work Great Transformation Polanyi has explained the process of the world-wide market expansion of the 19th-early 20th centuries, that is the actual process of globalization of the 19th – early 20th century, as well as the causes of its failure. This process, as is shown by Polanyi, was directed by the project of economic liberalism and gave rise to a whole complex of negative social consequences. The conception of the world-wide market expansion and criticism of Polanyi’s economic liberalism favours a better comprehension of the essence, social consequences and prospects of a new wave of globalization of late 20th – early 21st centuries and neoliberal project assumed as its basis. A conclusion has been formulated according to which, as a results of the action of the mechanism of “double motion” revealed by Polanyi, the neoliberal globalization of the 19th-early 20th century failed utterly. There is the substantiation that Polanyi connected the final overcoming of contradictions of the world-wide market expansion and renewal of the unity of “economy” and “society” with transition to socialism.

It has been common in some cultural contexts to distinguish sharply between capitalism and communism, assuming conflicting concepts of freedom. The dichotomy has influenced some philosophy, real-world contests in politics, and popular discourse. In the West, often capitalism and markets have been associated, however questionably, with freedom and democracy. Different notions of freedom have circulated as a part of another ideological complex opposed to that of the West. However, environmentalisms of various sorts have increasing importance in suggesting newer types of freedom, previously less salient due to the overpowering capitalism-communism dichotomy. Abstract concepts of freedom influenced by the older capitalism-communism dichotomy need critique. Different environmentalisms, less centred on the old dichotomy, increasingly can be progressively connected with different freedoms-in-environments frameworks. New perceptions about freedom can emerge.

The economic process called globalization brings about an extreme growing of global inequality. Problems of distributive justice and the possibilities of applying law become topical in our days. In the author's view the globalization takes place in accordance with Marx's intuitive comprehension of capitalism, whose development puts into operation its tacit immanent self-destructive mechanisms. It is necessary to go back to Marx and his theories of globalization and justice, and to examine, if they are applicable in present situation. The attention is paid especially to Rawls' resolving the problem of public conception of justice, as well as to Dahrendorf's conception of the global supremacy of law. In this connection further possible globalization scenarios are examined, such as those of E. Bondy and J. Keller.

The paper focuses on the interpretations of the concept of revolution in work of Rosa Luxemburg. It follows the basis of Luxemburg’s reflection on the revolution, their specific historical context and implications. The article outlines the controversy with revisionism, which, particularly in Luxemburg’s works, represents the first source of a theoretical grasp of the (socialist) revolution as a way of social change. Her conclusions and the methodological elaboration of the problem have been reflected in the evaluation of specific historical events (the Russian Revolution of 1905, the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917 and the revolutionary events of November 1918 in Germany).

(Title in Polish - 'Materialne podstawy pozycji pracowników umyslowych w Polsce; od zacofanego kapitalizmu, niesprawnego socjalizmu do zaleznego kapitalizmu'). The article presents the history and the present situation of the salary discrepancies between white-collars, blue-collars and farmers in Poland. The first part of the article describes the huge disparities in period 1918-1939, when the level white-collar salaries were up to four times higher than those of workers. In the second part, the changes during the communist time are presented. The number of white-collar employees rose three times, but comparing to the period before the WW II, their living standard fell significantly. The last part of the text focuses on the contemporary situation of white-collar employees. The author, using the quantitative data discusses broadly the income disparities in present-day Poland. He states that only the living standard of the most earning decil of white-collar employees may be compared to Polish bourgeoisie. On the contrary, the salaries and the living standard of 80% of white-collar is comparable to those of blue workers. Thus this two social classes, stresses the author, should unite in defense against the bourgeoisie's exploitation of working class in Poland.

The paper offers an analysis of on-going disputes on freedom, democracy, justice and ecological sustainability of contemporary capitalism, which became even more topical due to the global financial and economic crisis of the latter. The author’s focus is on several methodological aspects of these disputes. He shows how freedom and democracy are reduced to mere political freedom and democracy, while the distributive justice is reduced to mere redistribution of pre-distributed revenues. If social sciences are to resolve the theoretical problems of the 21st century society, these reductions have inevitably to be eliminated.

In principle, the theatrical work of the German opera director Petr Konwitschny is determined by his left-wing political beliefs. The study focuses on some of the phenomena of Western (capitalist) society which are constantly subject to criticism in his productions. In addition to rejecting the patriarchal principles of the organisation of society, it is primarily the dependence of modern civilisation on materiality, the consumerist way of life, and the disruption of moral values which ensues from it.

The paper deals with the social democracy reform in terms of the "Third Way" concept of British sociologist Anthony Giddens. It briefly describes the evolution of social democracy subjects considering their establishment, period of prosperity and dominance, until the crisis and efforts undertaken for their restoration. Therefore it tends to analyse the main pillars and attributes of the "Third Way" concept based on the roots and the history of its creation. The paper does not aspire to provide definite judgement on this concept, but focuses more on the theoretical background and practical implementations trans-formed into real policies executed by selected political parties.

Some authors think we live in post-ideological times. It’s possible, however, in legacy of Lenin and Marks, to lose this certainty. In preface and afterword of „Revolution at the Gates” Slavoj Žižek argues that Lenin is the most important thinker for the contemporaneity. The most crucial period of his life was between two revolutions, in February and October of 1917. Today — Slovenian intellectual believes — we also live in crucial period. For us, our February was the decline of the Soviet Union. Our October is, however, placed somewhere in the future, and — as such — unknown. In such situation we should be like Lenin between the revolutions. We should follow his pattern and act like he did, fight. The only weapon we have is our pencil. The ammunition we should use in fight for the future are Marx writings. In this paper I try to show the importance of Žižek for our thinking about present times in capitalistic world. Maybe indeed we should change it, or — at least — try to undermine, in our thinking, the present “natural” state of things?
