Przedsiębiorczość społeczna w pandemicznym ładzie gospodarki rynkowej
A social enterprise in a pandemic economic order

Summary/Abstract: The research problem undertaken by the author is the current drift of the economic order multiplied by the multiplier effect of COVID-19 from the principles of the social market economy. The aim of the article is to verify the hypothesis that the weakness of the Polish economic order infected by the coronavirus may support a social enterprise as a shock absorber of exclusion and an alternative to the current market paradigm. Taking up this research topic is a continuation of the author’s research on the complementarity of the ordoliberal economic order of the social market economy with the concept of the social enterprise. In his opinion, this “mixture of concepts” can constitute a specific economic vaccine for the market, provided that it is consistently and comprehensively used in the long term. The study concerns condition of the economic order after almost a year of the pandemic in Poland on the basis of ordoliberal rules and their individual determinants with selected economic indicators. The key conclusion of the study is that the social enterprise by reducing disproportions supports order and thus can minimize the negative effects of the pandemic.
