Their research shows that technological change is a repeating revolution: new technologies challenge the status quo and force economies to choose between adapting or protecting incumbents.

In Poland, that status quo is still largely built around fossil fuels.

In the latest episode of The Warsaw Wire, I speak with Paweł Wiejski, an energy and climate expert, about what Poland’s energy transition can learn from the work of recent winners of the so-called Nobel Prize in economics.

From empty shelves to a trillion-dollar economy.

Should Poland join the G20?

What I did hear was a story of a Polish student collecting discarded beer cans around Copenhagen to top up his modest income. Resourcefulness or recycling is a nice combo.

Just got back from a month in Denmark, where the pant system works like a charm: 93% return rate in 2024. People lugging empty bottles in bags, trolleys, and almost every food shop participates. Heard no complaints.
