Spotřební trh v ČSSR v době normalizace

This bachelor's thesis deals with an analysis of the consumer market in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic during the period of normalization. I verify the hypothesis that the Czechoslovak consumer market in the 1970s and 1980s was ruled by balance. In the theoretical part, the principle of how centrally planned economies function, the methodology of the economy of scarcity, and the political and economic development of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in the studied period are presented. In the practical part, first, the economical development is described, and then the development of personal and social consumption, the monetary income and expenditures of the population, and the population's savings are analysed. I deal with the individual characteristics of supply and demand on the consumer market and analyse the balance in the consumer market using selected indicators. On the basis of the results of all the selected indicators, it can be concluded that the long-term structural disturbances of equilibrium in the markets with commodity sub-types has persisted on the internal consumer market in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic with the predominance of demand over supply, despite the achievement of so-called "global equilibrium" roughly since 1970.
