Policy

Quote_1.png
Vaclav Klaus

"Then in 1969, I spent the spring term at Cornell University in New York. The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents."

Change

Vaclav Klaus
"By the time I returned to Czechoslovakia, I had an understanding of the principles of the market."

Time

Vaclav Klaus
"People like me who were engaging in brinkmanship with the party economic bosses and the open dissidents who were being arrested were pursuing a common goal in different ways."

"To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work, and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed."

Quote_1.png
Vaclav Klaus

Time

Quote_1.png
Vaclav Klaus
"Privatization of the state-owned economy is not yet on the agenda. We cannot do it immediately; my colleagues would not agree to it. But we must put all forms of ownership on an equal footing immediately and let different types of ownership compete with the state firms."

Economy
