Summary/Abstract: In his essay, the author assumes that since the fall of communism, we have twice dealt with a change in the immune system (understood as a resultant of social ideas and legal regulations). In the period of 1989-2008, the immuno-suppression concept dominated, i.e. the idea of atrophy of foreign bodies in the world undergoing globalisation. After the 2008 crisis, this concept was gradually replaced by the idea of auto-immunity, i.e. the conviction that a state and social organism must be implemented to detect foreign bodies within. In Poland such bodies now include: women, nature and non-native Poles. The essence of the new system does not lie in combating foreign bodies, but in keeping them alive and using. I call this type of economy national capitalism.
