Summary/Abstract: The object of analysis of this study is – postulated by the author – the future shape of EU social policy for 25 years. In the starting point – the possibility of achieve a uniform social model in Europe was subjected to a critical evaluation. The author believes that this scenario is not only unrealistic, but also socially harmful. Therefore – as an alternative – the author presents the assumptions and implications of the adoption of liberal (marginal) approach to social policy.
