Rok 1956 - problemy polityki rolnej Polski w odnalezionych zapiskach keynesisty

Sir William Aylsham Bryan Hopkin, a disciple of John Maynard Keynes, left 70 pages of notes taken during the stay of a delegation of British economists in Poland in 1956. As it is indicated in the notes, the visit was desired by both parties. British economists were followers of Keynes theory, which must have been a promising theory for the authorities of the Peoples Republic of Poland. For Keynesian economists the peoples democracy states at that time were a kind of a laboratory, in which effects of state interventionism incorporated in the market mechanisms could be observed. This article is a report and analysis of a meeting of the British delegation with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture. The agenda included many essential problems of agriculture in that time. The author attempted to identify who had benefited from that meeting and what those benefits were.
