In this Thursday Sept. 5, 2019 photo Economist Leszek Balcerowicz, who authored the radical free-market reforms of three decades ago that put Poland on a path toward spectacular economic success, speaks to The Associated Press in Warsaw, Poland. Despite Poland's many economic gains, Balcerowicz sometimes finds himself forced to defend his legacy today as the mood turns against unfettered capitalism. With a parliamentary election approaching Oct. 13, Poland's ruling populist party is riding a wave of popularity due to its social spending policies, re-nationalizations, lowering of the retirement age and restrictions on Sunday shopping.
