Value, Price, and Economic Reform in the Polish People's Republic
Marxists have long argued about the viability of "market socialism." That model was dominant among professional economists in the Polish People's Republic after the fall of Stalinism in 1956, even though they were never able to fully implement its principles. This article explores the debates over this concept in communist Poland, identifying the central issue as an attempt to combine socialist goals with neoclassical methodological principles an…
Całkiem zwyczajny kraj. Forum recenzyjne
Kolejne forum recenzyjne Praktyki Teoretycznej mierzy się z syntezą najnowszej historii Polski pióra amerykańskiego historyka Briana Porter-Szűcsa. Praca pomyślana jako przeciwwaga dla narracji o Polsce i Polakach charakterystycznej dla ostatnich dziesięcioleci, martyrologicznej i skupionej na sobie, spotkała się z żywym odzewem. Za prowokacyjną uznali tę książkę nie tylko świadomi (lub nie) przedstawiciele „martyrologicznej” ortodoksji i wyznawc…
Whiteness and Polishness
Polish Intersectionality
To fully understand northeastern Europe’s cultural pluralism, it helps to apply a concept first coined for a very different time and place: “intersectionality.” This idea begins with a simple recognition that every person embodies a cluster of identities, some personally embraced and some imposed by others. All of these identities are positioned within cross-cutting relationships of power and privilege that interact in complicated ways. Although …
From Homo Sovieticus to Homo Economicus
Whereas both classical and neoclassical economists based their theories on a static psychology of self-maximizing rationality that facilitated the formulation of universal economic laws, Marx proposed instead an evolutionary understanding of the human psyche, opening the possibility of dynamic economic laws that mutated in accordance with changing historical contexts. By the 1920s and 1930s, some socialist economists started to drift away from th…
Meritocracy and Community in Twenty-First-Century Poland
Poland has never been as homogenous as its ethnolinguistic composition would lead one to believe. In fact, it is every bit as diverse as countries with sharp linguistic, racial, or religious divides. The only difference is that the conflicts and tensions expressed elsewhere between ascriptive communities are experienced in Poland within a shared label of identity. Just because two Poles speak the same language, get baptized in the same church, an…
Exclusionary Egalitarianism and the New Cold War
It seems clear that there is a common ideological foundation linking Putin, Le Pen, Orbán, Erdoğan, Trump, Kaczyński, and others, but labeling that ideology has been difficult. Many in the media have called them "populists," but this term can be misleading and imprecise. This essay focuses on Poland in order to propose a genealogy that transcends conventional divisions between left and right. The phrase "exclusionary egalitarianism" helps us reco…
