Spravodlivosť v kontexte hospodárskej a sociálnej politiky
Equity in the Context of the Economic and Social Policy

Summary/Abstract: The globalisation process poses such questions as the extension of poverty and its reduction. The answers on these questions are not too optimistic. The poverty is remarkably growing in the globalising world. The Polish economist G. W. Kolodko has made a remark that the current political life is cruel what means that the space for equity is minimal. The term „equity“ occurs more frequently in politicians electoral proposals than in the reality. In regard to the scientific analysis it occurs only very rarely in spite of its actuality. A certain exception was the scientific conference held by the IMF in June 1998 on the theme „Eco-nomic Policy and Equity“. The main aim of the conference was to pay attention to this urgent problem. The same purpose has also this article.
