ECONOMY, POLITICS, SOCIETY

The search by economics for pragmatism or moderation may seem like a great intellectual provocation, because economics is always about pragmatism and moderation. However, economics sometimes triumphs by calling for a more generous spending of public money. The economy, politics, and society expect economics to conduct research on how to reconcile caring for public money with the necessity of spending it.

• Interdisciplinary approach to economic issues
• Analysis of pragmatism in economic policy
• Reflections on the economy of moderation
• Authored essays by outstanding economists
• New perspectives in economic research
• Current challenges for the economy, politics, and society
• Practical advice for decision-makers and researchers

Professor Grzegorz W. Kołodko, as a two-time Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance after 1989, always emphasized that he must – whether he is liked for it or not – first and foremost guard public money and it is best if he is blind and deaf to the constant pressure to spend this money on all the wonderful purposes. Let us note that this is by no means a metaphor and it is not gold, but small change.

This unique publication, prepared by a team of outstanding economists, is devoted to issues close to Professor Grzegorz W. Kołodko - the new pragmatism in economic policy and the economics of moderation. Both of these research fields create an opportunity for very different, interdisciplinary, original reflections on the state of scientific research in various economic disciplines on pragmatism and moderation, and the directions in which modern economies, politics and societies are to move.
