Nowy Pragmatyzm, czyli ekonomia i polityka dla przyszłości
The New Pragmatism, or Economics and Politics for the Future

Summary/Abstract: Not only is economics a means of interpreting the past and analysing the present, but it must become an instrument that can be used to read and shape the future. On the one hand, it should show the development of inevitable future socio-economic processes, with their links to culture and technology, politics and the environment, for which we need to be properly prepared well in advance. On the other hand, the economics of the future must reveal the conditions and mechanisms of the phenomena and processes that might occur. With theoretical knowledge of this area, knowledge-based policies and strategies of economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development can be put in place. In the future, heterodoxy is bound to dominate, and economics itself is likely to become increasingly more interdisciplinary. Future generations need economics of moderation and a theory describing it, as opposed to the thus far prevailing economics of either deficiency or excess. We need the New Pragmatism.
