Społeczno-polityczne i ekonomiczne skutki wprowadzenia euro w Polsce

The article attempts to present the social, political and economic effects of the Polish accession to the so-called Euroland and the introduction of the euro. The author asks many research questions and proposes some theses that stimulate reflection, e.g. he writes that the substitution of the national currency by the European Union’s one is connected with the delegation of some authority reserved for a sovereign state to a supranational level. And this must arouse some fears or even meet with opposition from some political parties, especially the right-wing and populist ones and a part of the society. According to the author, it is – however – a result of bringing politics into the matter and ignorance or even conscious disinformation about the effects of the adoption of the euro. The examples of other countries that have already introduced the euro show that it has not had a negative impact on their sovereignty and national identity.
