The People Who Shaped Poland's Economy After 1989 Have Passed Away
Published
In 2026, two well-known Polish economists died: Stanisław Gomułka and Andrzej Olechowski. Both names are well known to people interested in the economy, business and the history of the systemic transformation.
Stanisław Gomułka and Andrzej Olechowski took part in shaping Poland's economy after 1989. It was a time of major change. Poland was then moving from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, and the decisions made in that period still affect the country today.
They are important figures in the history of Polish economics. Their work concerned reforms, changes in finance and the country's economic development. People who knew their activity emphasise that they had a great influence on debates about Poland's future.
The departure of these economists is also an occasion to reflect on how the Polish economy has changed over the last thirty years. Many people believe that their experience and knowledge will remain an important point of reference for future generations.
