Economic Reform Attempts in Socialist Czechoslovakia

Summary/Abstract: There were several factors which supported or hindered the introduction of communist system. Those were among others the historical connection to Slavic Russia, the economic strength or the attitude towards the common ownership. In Czechoslovakia there were only two attempts to improve the efficiency of economy. The first attempt or the Rozsypalʼs reform was carry out between 1957 and 1960. This was a belated reaction to process of destalinisation or the new course, the new form of economic command ordered by Moscow. The changes were only organizational and were not accompanied by political. The second reform was named by Ota Šik and was realized from 1965 to 1968. This reform was much comprehensive than the earlier one and was ready to introduce some market elements to economy, but the reform period was too short to initiate new ideas. The relief of the political climate led to Prague Spring. However, this was changes were unacceptable for USSR. In September 1968 Šik was emigrated and all reform ideas were buried until 1989.
