Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to epistemological approach to the status of poetry from a perspective questions asked by the economics of literature. He lists selected theories poetry - Jochen Hörisch, Wiktor B. Szkłowski, Jean Baudrillard and Franco Berardi - which can be considered specific "economies of poetry" due to their proposed description of the properties of the poetic medium in an economic perspective. For each of them, poetry is defined as uneconomical and useless, which at the same time - paradoxically - becomes a condition for its existence as a linguistic breaking are acirculation of signs, a point of resistance to conventionalized communication and the automation of perception, and thus - a medium offering a specific knowledge of reality.
