    • 2023 January 11, Jacek Nizinkiewicz, “Butny Bogusław Grabowski – gorący kartofel w rękach opozycji”, in Rzeczpospolita:
      Bogusław Grabowski w wielu sprawach ma rację[...]. Jednak butny i osądzający sposób podania swoich opinii oraz emocje, które towarzyszyły wypowiedziom ekonomisty, mogą być zgubne – nie tylko dla niego, choć Grabowski niektórym jawi się jako gospodarczy autorytet, ale też dla tych, których wspiera, czyli obozu opozycyjnego.
      Bogusław Grabowski is right about many issues . However, his arrogant and judgmental way of giving his opinion, along with the emotions that accompanied the economist's statements, may be harmful – not only for himself, though Grabowski seems like an authority on the economy to some, but also to those he supports, that is, the camp of the opposition.
