Summary/Abstract: The social changes taking place in Slovakia since 1989 have had a number of consequences for the everyday life of its inhabitants. A new nation-state with a democratic political regime has been formed, a market economy has been restored, human values, human aspirations, and models of behaviour, the way of life has also changed. Democracy and the market mechanism create a new milieu which provides new possibilities and simultaneously limits other earlier habituated modes of satisfying demands. The consequences of democracy and the market mechanism in economic life have changed the way of life of the people.
