Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of sustainable development and attempts to evaluate the assumptions of the Polish development policy based on innovation in relation to this concept. It points out the need for a more thorough discussion on this subject and moving away from the adopted primacy of economic growth, typical of mainstream economics for a more comprehensive perspective, taking into account primarily the natural environment. The theoretical achievements of heterodox economics, especially Post Keynesian Economics, could be helpful in building such a comprehensive approach.
