Summary/Abstract: As the title suggests, this article characterizes the systemic transformation of the Polish economy from the perspective of the institutional diversity of capitalism (i.e., Varieties of Capitalism). It synthetically presents the main objectives of the transformation, the most commonly discussed typologies of capitalism, and their application in Poland and the European post-communist countries. In this theoretical context the Polish economy is examined using a variety of criteria and typologies of capitalism (liberal, coordination, dependent, hybrid etc.). The article also lists the cognitive strengths and limitations of such a perspective analysis of the emerging economic model in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
