The Polish Transformation: Tadeusz Kowalik on the Epigonic Bourgeois Revolution of 1989

Overview

"The book takes an in-depth look at a hitherto unexplored part of the oeuvre of prominent Polish economist and historian of economic thought Tadeusz Kowalik: his thesis that the systemic transformation that took place in Poland in the late 1980s was a de facto ""epigonic bourgeois revolution"". Since Kowalik actually never extended his argument to support this thesis, the aim of the book is to answer the following question: If some important reflections on the revolutionary character of the Polish transformation scattered throughout Kowalik's works were to be found, would they together constitute a convincing justification for the thesis of the ""epigonic bourgeois revolution""?"
