Functioning of the National Economy and Protection of the Natural Environment
Abstract
Problems of the natural environment protection have been recently in the
focus of attention of the Polish public opinion in the effect of a quickly progressing
degradation of the natural resources. In the well-developed countries it
happened at least a quarter of century ago. That time lag was resulting from
the fact that only-in the seventies Poland entered the road of changes facilitating
a wider utilization of the modern scientific and technological revolution which in
turn unprecedently devastated the natural resources in course of the productional
processes. Another reason of that destruction was of a doctrinal nature, it was
widely believed that in a socialist system the processes of devastation can be
altogether eliminated on account of the central planning based on a macroeconomic
calculation.
The central planning and the macroeconomic calculation do not however secure
a rational utilization of the natural resources only by themselves. On the one
hand, there is no possibility of accounting for the depreciation of these resources
in the cost calculus in the effect of non-availability of their economic appraisal
in economic practice. On the other hand no goals of the activity can be determined
as there is no data collected on the environmental needs of a population.
The present socio-economic crisis created conditions for the new system of
functioning of the national economy widely employing market mechanisms. In
spite of many profits which can be brought about by the new system, one has
to reckon with the strong stimuli, for independent economic units, not to cover
costs for their utilization of the natural resources and regeneration of the, degraded
environment. The burdens of its protection have to be taken over by the
State in such condition of affaires. But instead the actions of the State should
aim at such conditioning of a market that socially irrational utilization of the
natural resources does not pay. That purpose can be effected by means of imposing
taxes and charges on the units impairing the environment, to collect funds
toward its reconstruction. The State services of the environment protection as
well as their control and enforcement functions have to be widely expanded in
order to ensure the effective actions in that sphere. But the intensification of the
scientific research seems to be a matter of the highest importance — it has to
follow two directions; defining the soundness of environmental standards and
appraising economically the natural resources and their role in the social processes
in economy.
