Historical calendar – the anniversary of the Polish Parliament's vote on the fresh Act on Business Activity, known by the name of the Minister of Industry, “The Wilczek Act”.
Today in our calendar we will look at economical reforms in Poland in the late 1980s and 1990s.
As part of the economical preparations for the alleged systemic transformation, Wojciech Jaruzelski's click ordered a referendum on the alleged second phase of reforms. It was held on November 29, 1987. Despite the affirmative result, it did not change anything in the lives of average Poles. The economical crisis has been going on and worse. The planned fresh strategy required the creation of fresh elites with a sufficiently advanced material position and thus social status.
As part of the communist system, specified elites could not form because, in principle, the means of production belonged to the state. Therefore, as of 1988, the alleged nomenklatura companies, i.e. private enterprises of individuals associated with the governing organization and uniformed services, began to be created. A typical nomenclature company was established at an existing state plant.
Thanks to agreements with authorities and agreements with the management of the plant, it monopolized its supply of natural materials and energy, and frequently took over the sale and transport of finished products. As a consequence of this operation, the Nomenklatur company practically intercepted the full profit of the State company, which showed losses covered by the State budget. Interestingly, in many cases, the company was owned by a manager of a state-owned company who made a contract with itself.
Later, the operation went much further. During the time of the alleged privatization, Polish factories and workplaces were sold at no cost to those associated with the authorities. Thus, by means of a concretely understood first capital accumulation consisting in the theft of state assets, the elites of the 3rd Republic, or Polish millionaires, of oligarchs, were created. Among them are Ryszard Krauze, Jan Kulczyk and Zygmunt Solorz.
At the same time, abroad capital associated with the Rothschild financial empire and Rockefellers began to enter the country. As early as May 1988, Batory Foundation based on funds was registered in Poland George Soros. This (2018) institution is officially focused on the improvement of democracy, open society and tolerance. In practice, it finances initiatives aimed at laicization, sexualisation and atomization of society. It was headed by Aleksander Smolar – a longtime associate of the judaic PZPR.
The marketplace introduction of nomenclature companies and private abroad companies argued with national legislation, which inactive recognized only state ownership in the economy. Consequently, on December 23, 1988, the Act on Business Activity, commonly referred to as the Wilczek Act, was passed. It restored the private ownership of the means of production and the freedom of management on the basis of ‘everything not prohibited is allowed’.
The Act entered into force on 1 January 1989. According to its content, the Polish economy was freed, introducing only 11 activities, which were required by the authorities. In this way, the nomenclature companies were granted full freedom of action and their owners were guaranteed further wealth.
The bill has not precisely produced the planned side effects. On the basis of this, Poland has become 1 large bazaar. All over the country, trade fairs were created, where everything was traded from food to tools and mechanical parts to appliances and RTV. In this way besides average Poles gained the chance to accumulate capital and gain wealth.
