Abstract

This chapter is focused on distributive justice, which is a neglected aspect of the postsocialist transformation in Poland. The transformed system has established many new institutions like the free market, but all to often they neither function effectively nor much care about social justice. An important problem is how the Poles assess the performance of such institutions as the free market and the democratic state. Unless they appreciate them as being better than the old regime, their legitimacy can not be established. This chapter examines first how the new system answers the questions of what and how political and economic goods are distributed, by whom, for whom, and when. Then, it tries to evaluate the new system from the viewpoint of social justice in distribution.
