Interwencjonizm państwa w Polsce oraz w krajach UE i OECD
State interventionism in Poland, EU- and OECD-countries

Summary/Abstract: Characteristics of state interventionism according to economic theory as well as an analysis of the state involvement into economy on the income redistribution rate basis are presented in the article. The survey included years 1991–2007. The state intervention level into Polish economy was high, similar to the EU countries, in transition period. This resulted from characteristics of changes followed in Poland. Due to the disadvantageous structure in public expenditures as well as economic development level of the country, the level is still high. Social assistance for natural persons and the maintenance of public sector units make more than 80 percent of public expenditures. Economic task subsidies and property expenditures make only 10 percent of all sector expenditures.
