Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the relationship between democracy and economy in the perspective of the encyclical letter of John Paul II Centesimus annus. The thesis of the dependence of capitalism upon democracy, commonly accepted in the 1990s, is now being called into question. On the one hand, new political phenomena such as growing populist or alter-globalist movements, on the other hand, new economic phenomena such as the working poor, the emergence of precariat and the financialization of the economy raise questions about the future of the democratic state. Its existing formula seems to come to an end, however, it is still not clear in which direction its metamorphosis could happen.
