Konsekwencje międzynarodowego kryzysu finansowego dla Polski

THERE IS NO doubt, that all over history national currency has always been and is still considered as one of the basic attributes of national independence, while a Member State entering the so called „Euroland Group” can be seen as a further step in the process of transfer of the State competence from the national to super-national level. This is apt to provoke, as shown by the experience of seventeen countries who have accepted Euro, protests from a proportion of political parties as well as of public opinion. However, this should be rather attached to disinformation or low level of knowledge than seen as real social or political threats. This paper is an attempt to show social and political effects, which might stem from Poland accessing the Euro zone and introducing common EU currency, while its main position is that the act of Poland’s entering the Euroland Group and the question of introduction of Euro currency are not only of economic, but mainly of social and political consequence. What is more, the Author is convinced that the content related dispute somehow becomes captured by political arguments related to Euro and to replacement of Polish Zloty by this currency. This should be considered as a reprehensibly misleading behavior, for the system of super-national currency is – according to Maastricht Treaty – not reducing the State independence range, but rather presenting the State, its administration and representative institutions with a challenge to cope with two basic paradigm objects: sound monetary system and stable financial and economy system.
