The Polish Liberal Project in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s Policy Statement

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present the liberal project suggested in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s policy statement delivered on 5 January 1991. According to the author, the project exemplifies economic liberalism; whereas its anthropological aspects, as well as the strictly political and social problems, occupy but a secondary place in comparison with economic issues. The author shows that Bielecki’s project is a continuation of the classical liberal economic ideas and an attempt to implement 20th century Western ideas (called neoliberalism).
