Transformation in Poland (since 1989) • provided a good example of the “pendulum effect”: • until 1989: centrally planned economics, • ii. 1989 – 2004 market oriented economics; • iii. post 1 May 2004 EU market (quota, subsidies).
Rural Depopulation • Young, educated people are the first to escape from villages. • Leaving villages by young women is especially unfavorable social phenomenon (afraid of repeating their mothers’ way of life) • An Edipus complex in villages (strategy written by Sophocles?)
