The citizen in socialism and in democracy: the role model of new collectivism (according to Maria Ossowska)

This article describes the formation of a new kind of economic and social relations post 1989. The key issue is whether they are different from previous forms of moral behaviour. The basic argument boils down to a conclusion about the emergence of a new type of morality shaped under the influence of corporate collectivism. This is expressed in the demand for new role models,which have been implemented in the form of patterns of free-market democracy. The deliberations here refer to the written works of Maria Ossowska.
