Abstract
The economic system in Poland is undergoing major changes. Its social costs are enormous. At the end of 1989 most people in Poland, while skeptical about the economic situation, were politically willing to accept quick and radical changes in the economy — even at the price of significant sacrifices and a temporary lowering of living standards. Now, however, public opinion is concerned with the deterioration of living standards and an uncertain future. According to various recent surveys, social attitudes have changed drastically and now from 70% to 90% of respondents expect an increase in social tensions. 1990 was probably the quietest of the last five years. Considering the enormous changes which had taken place, the number of strikes and other conflicts in the first 12 months of reform was relatively small.
