This study is devoted to recent developments in Central European
(especially Polish) political thought, and concentrates on the
emergence of liberal ideas, a subject largely neglected by Western
observers. It provides a clear account of protoliberal and liberal
thinking in Central Europe both before and after 1989, a critical
appraisal of the democratic opposition to communism, and an
analysis of economic liberalism as its rival orientation. The
author examines the changes which occur in classical liberal ideas
when they are implemented in a region with practically no liberal
tradition and no socioeconomic infrastructure, and shows how
liberal ideas in Central Europe are becoming constructivist,
functioning as the ideological justification for a new kind of
Utopian social engineering that aims at constructing capitalism.
