Roger Scruton and the Polish Path to a Modern State

This article examines Roger Scruton's concepts as a foundation for modern state reforms in Poland. The Good State Foundation proposes a shift from impersonal bureaucratic processes to personalized accountability, where every administrative decision has a specific author and a metric for its impact. A key element is strengthening intermediary institutions, the so-called "small platoons," and combating ideological newspeak through a rigorous audit of public goals. The article argues that building a strong state requires a pact with reality and respect for cultural continuity, which constitutes a viable alternative to the blurred accountability of contemporary administration.
