SOCIAL ENTERPRISE IN SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY

The aim of the article is to confirm the thesis that social enterprises have a big impact on maximizing social benefits and reducing disparities and social exclusion in the state with the social market economy, as well as in a country without a social market economy system. To achieve the goal, the assumptions of the social market economy and social enterprises were presented, both in terms of model and practical function-ing in Polish conditions. The authors use the deductive method of selected scientific publications, as well as the comparative method both in the efficiency of legal forms and business models of social enterprises, and the positive feedback phenomenon be-tween the social and micro-social dimension when the social enterprise penetrates complementarily through the order of the social market economy.
