Grzegorz Konat The Polish Transformation (Paperback)

The Polish TransformationGrzegorz KonatLabel: Haymarket BooksDescription: The Polish Transformation takes an in-depth look at a hitherto unexplored part of the oeuvre of prominent Polish economist and historian of economic thought Tadeusz Kowalik: his thesis that the systemic transformation that took place in Poland in the late 1980s was a de facto epigonic bourgeois revolution.Since Kowalik actually never extended his argument to support this thesis the aim of this study is to answer the following question: If some important reflections on the revolutionary character of the Polish transformation scattered throughout Kowalik's works were to be found would they together constitute a convincing justification for the thesis of the epigonic bourgeois revolution?
