The article contains Komerční banka's analysis of the Czech economy. The authors conclude that the economy goes through a classical recession, caused by the joint working of the following main factors: waves in firms' and households' investment, volatility of foreign capital, stabilization policy mismanagement, and a credit cycle. An important part of the recession was a result of the restrictive monetary and fiscal policy of 1997, which had an impact on the economy with a one-year lag. The authors conclude that a slight recovery of demand will not come earlier than in the second half of 1999, and that it will be driven mainly by the revival of real...

Jiří Jonáš

Politická ekonomie 1999, 47(2) | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.23

The paper discusses the effects of financial crisis in Asia on the progress toward capital account liberalization. It notes that during the IMF Annual Meeting in Hongkong in 1997, a consensus has been reached to amend the IMF Articles of Agreement to include capital account liberalization among the objectives that Fund members should seek. However, since then, the outburst of financial crisis in Asia has cast some doubts about the desirability of capital account liberalization. The paper discusses the role that large capital flows played in the Asian crisis, and notes some distortions and policy mistakes that have contributed to increased vulnerabilities...

Od egoismu k izolacionismu

From egoism to izolationism

Jiří Řezník

Politická ekonomie 1999, 47(2) | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.24

This commentary on Jiří Kinkor's book and papers analyses with a certain lapse of time whether the author cannot arrive at fallacies within the framework of his programme (i.e. the destruction of collectivism, altruism and statism) in connection with philosophy and economics. Kinkor pleads Objectivism (Ayn Rand's philosophy). However, he is not prepared to evolve a relevant structure of concepts in a factual conforntation with other research programmes (paradigms). Therefore, his contributions make a regression.Other authors worked out the subjects discussed in his writings at a more concrete level of knowledge. The disregard of all results of...
