Between thriftiness and thriftlessness of activities of public economic administration bodies

Abstract

The article emphasizes that the activities undertaken by economic administration bodies should be characterized by a high degree of thriftiness, which is a guarantee of proper management of public property. This may affect savings in spending funds remaining under the responsibility of the broadly understood public sector. At the same time, one should strive to introduce such changes in Polish legislation that will limit thriftlessness and affect the economic development of the state and citizens’ trust in bodies exercising public authority. It was emphasized that both the level of thriftiness and the level of thriftlessness in the activities of economic administration bodies are dependent on the correct decisions of the legislator. Its rational legislative activities may lead to the reduction of many pathologies in public administration.
