Czech Reform and Economic Restructure Available to Purchase

Helped by somewhat limited inward investment from the West and a programme of wide‐scale privatization, reform in the Czech Republic appears to be proceeding relatively successfully. Emerging from the pressures of a long and complex history of political, geophysical and economic change and more recent Soviet domination, the Republic has given maximum priority to the speedy development of a free market economy. The subsequent drastic reduction of state intervention,however, is questionable and some argue that the pace of reform should be matched by an appropriate public sector infrastructure.
