Model gospodarki samorządowej według koncepcji opozycji politycznej w PRL w latach 1976–1989

The political opposition in Communist Polish Republic concentrated a lot of attention in magazines published in “second” circulation on economic issues. Mainly they were wondering how to change the disadvantageous economic situation of our country in 1980s. One of their more representative idea in this period of time concerned the model of local economy. The most important role in this model belonged to trade unions, which would have the real independent character. According to their concept the economic system of country would opt out of the government so the rule over enterprises would be given to the workers and this way it would create the “social enterprises”. The workers’ council would take care of workers’ business and also would choose the director who would be responsible to the workers’ council. Some part of polish opposition believed that keeping the economy under workers’ control would bring the chance of political changes in Communist Polish Republic.
