The Economy of Desire and Polish Advertising Specifics | Taylor

The article analyzes the evolution of Polish advertising as a tool for capitalist education after 1989, based on F. W. Taylor's theory. The author indicates that the specificity of Polish marketing relies on turning slogans into utilitarian quotes and utilizing irony and allusion to make the message more accessible. Examples of campaigns such as Żubr or Telekomunikacja Polska show how brands build a symbolic monopoly through local insights and the humanization of the message. Advertising in Poland is not merely information about a product, but a game of intuition and a social ritual that familiarized consumers with free-market mechanisms, turning commercial communication into an element of colloquial speech.
