Social capital in the post-modern era has become the most important factor in development. This article briefly analyzes the approach to social capital and assesses the level of social capital in Poland on the basis of selected metrics (such as trust and community involvement). The second part of the article is a search for an answer to the research question: how can business contribute to building social capital?

In the last quarter of a century, there have been two events of great importance, initiating and determining to a large extent the course of the trajectory of the development of Polish agriculture, namely – the political transformation and Poland’s accession to the European Union. These events had a significant impact on agriculture. The shock therapy of the early 1990s, as a means of accelerated transformation, created unfavorable conditions for agriculture, determined by unfavorable agricultural price scissors, the return to farms of several hundred thousand workers laid off from non-agricultural enterprises, the decline in budget support, the liquidation of the State Agricultural Farms and other factors, resulting in the income collapse of agriculture and a regression in agricultural production.

The introduction of a free market economic system in Poland 25 years ago has resulted in spectacular development, while social development has lagged behind, leading to widening income disparities, persistently high levels of unemployment and the phenomenon of social exclusion. Poland has further opportunities for development in the economic and social spheres, as indicated by the progress made in the twenty-five-year period of transformation of the economic system, implementation and strengthening of the market economy. Poland belongs to the group of very highly developed countries, with a large market potential and ever-increasing domestic demand, but it is not free from serious threats to harmonious, sustainable social and economic development. Among these threats are the demographic situation, unemployment and the deficit in public finances. Dysfunctions in the development of scientific research, as well as its use in practice, are also a significant barrier to development, which is not conducive to the growth of national innovation.

I am pleased to present the next issue of the periodical MAZOWSZE Regional Studies. This is a special issue. It contains a set of articles devoted to the Polish experience of the last 25 years, which was a time of building a new legal order and introducing the principles of functioning of a modern democratic state. The experience of this period is decidedly positive, and this applies to virtually all areas of public life. Local government reform has contributed to the empowerment of local and regional communities. The investment efforts of local and regional governments and central authorities, especially after Poland’s accession to the European Union, changed the image of Poland.

The globalization processes of the modern world are confronting economic and industrial structures with new challenges, which can take on negative consequences in the event of organizational failures or decision-making errors. Therefore, various economic (business) forums and scientific conferences are periodically held in many centers, relevant to the world’s economies, to indicate the directions of modern economic evolution.

Personal and social security is among the basic values on which a person wants to base his existence. It relates both to the sphere of personal life and spiritual life. Particularly acute is a person’s inner anxiety, a sense of danger, uncertainty about tomorrow, fear of the future. The anxiety of an individual person is transferred to the entire community in which the person lives.

The social market economy is most often understood as the equivalent of a socialist economy or redistributive social policies. It is also sometimes erroneously defined as synonymous with state interventionism. Meanwhile, the concept of a social market economy is a liberal concept, with its origins in pre-war ordoliberal theory. A social market economy is an equilibrium model that reconciles the coexistence of economic and social interests (economic efficiency versus social justice).

This article addresses the social problems of a degraded workers’ housing estate in the suburban city of Konstancin-Jeziorna in the context of plans for its revitalization. The author focuses on the poor internal reputation of the settlement, which is significantly influenced by, among other things, a high concentration of communal and social housing. The attitude of withdrawal, lack of commitment to the common good, as well as greater territorial indifferentism among the socially excluded, exacerbate the moral degradation of the residents and put the city authorities in need of corrective action.

The article recalls the role that a long-term strategy should play in the development of the region. This is because there are currently many misunderstandings and misconceptions on the subject, which reflects negatively on the usefulness of the strategy for practice and reduces its effectiveness. Strategy is a basic tool for managing long-term development processes at the regional level, and its essence is to make choices on how to use the generally limited resources to stimulate the development process and make related decisions with long-term consequences.
