Rozwój teorii i praktyki stosowania fiskalizmu na świecie i w Polsce z odniesieniem do współczesnej sytuacji epidemii COVID-19
The Theory and Practice Development of Applying Fiscalism in the World and Poland Regarding the COVID-19 Modern Epidemic Situation

Summary/Abstract: Subsequent economic crises (including the COVID-19 crisis) have shared many common characteristics relating to this phase of the business cycle. In each subsequent, their differences also appear-especially in terms of the methods used by economic practice to overcome them, resulting from existing new economic realities. The main topic addressed by this paper is the evolution of theory and practice of fiscalism both in Poland and the world. The subject has aimed at presenting a study providing an overview including taxation and fiscalism with the potential for further consideration of aspects and directions of change which, suitably modified for the new conditions, may also be helpful nowadays in seeking ways out of economic crises, especially the most recent one related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A research hypothesis pointing to the special importance of fiscalism in the conditions of economic breakdowns – including the current crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, indicates that it is difficult to unequivocally clarify the boundaries (upper and lower) of the application of fiscalism. The descriptive method, supported by analytical elements, illustrates the evolution of views on taxes, fiscalism, and public debt and present empirical studies in this field from the global literature. Furthermore, the method was supported by a cause-effect analysis of the described relations. Finally, generalizations and conclusions allowing to verify the previously stated research hypothesis were derived.
