The power of modern China: an outline of the problem
The modern power of China is based on its traditional sources: the size of the territory and demographics, the scale of the economy, strong army and soft power (culture, values, foreign policy, public diplomacy). China, by building its hegemony, showed that only a state with significant resources is able to be a leader in the modern world. The basic condition is the balanced development of individual power resources, because only then can long-term hegemony in the modern world be achieved and maintained. It is important for the world whether China will gain hegemony by overthrowing the existing world order, or whether it will try to maintain the existing order by building its leadership on its basis.

Duchess Anna Sapieżyna née Zamoyskas busy life. Duchess Annas activity in the Sapieżyński estate
The article concerns certain aspects of economic activities of Anna Sapieżyna, with special emphasis placed on the territories of Congress Poland and Taken Lands on the east of the Bug river. The author focuses on the financial situation of the landed properties and how the duchess managed them. Anna Sapieżyna (1772–1858) was married to Aleksander Sapieha in 1794. In 1799, she gave birth to her daughter Anna, and in 1803 to her son Leon. In 1817, the daughter married A.J. Czartoryski. After the fall of the November Uprising in 1831, the duchess strived to save the family fortune from confiscation by the tsar as punishment for her son and son in laws participation in the Uprising. The duchess managed the rescued properties by herself, and was the sole decision-maker, with the employees only following her instructions. In the landed properties, an early version of crop rotation was implemented. The duchess had a good understanding of the mechanisms of the financial market. The money from the agricultural activities was invested in banks and exchange offices, various European markets as well as bonds issued by Congress Poland, Prussia and Russia. The returns were then invested into land properties in France, the Grand Duchy of Posen and Galicia.

The use of the horse at the early medieval stronghold of Grzybowo in the light of archaeological sources
The stronghold in Grzybowo is one of the most important early Piast settlements with its origins dating back to 919–923. The construction of a powerful castle by the Piasts remains an object of consideration, given that they already used large strongholds in Giecz, Poznań, and Ostrów Lednicki in the centre of their domain. Grzybowo complemented these four sites, and soon (10th century) Gniezno followed suit. Perhaps the intention was to emphasise their dominion over the area, at the same time allocating specific strongholds to the family members to give them a sense of power. Among the numerous cultural materials recovered during the archaeological excavations are objects connected with the use of horses. Their skeletal remains have been separated in the archaeological material. In the early Middle Ages, the horse played an important military as well as cultural role. Historical sources suggest a significant role played by horses when travelling, in combat, and as the owner’s status symbol. The withers height of the Grzybowo horses suggests that they could have been high thus suitable for riding. The use of horses by the residents of the stronghold and the nearby settlements is supported by pieces of equestrian equipment, including fragments of horseshoes, and elements of bridles made of iron or antlers.

These are compared to the situation before the First World War. In addition, the text looks at the influence of the economy on social changes and social problems in the region and vice versa.
