Product Description

Brack Brown, Associate Professor of Government and Politics, George Mason University, Fairfax -1999
"It is a model of how to bring together foundation theories (such as Dahrendorf, Etzioni, and Hayek) with original emperical work and statisitcs. ... European and American scholars would find the book very revealing." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
Successful transition for any post-communist country is reliant upon the market, government and the civil sectors. Potu(ek's pioneering study of the Czech Republic highlights the early transitional mistakes made during the Klaus era with respect to the role and the inter-relationship of these sectors.

Not Only the Market examines the balance between sectors and makes useful comparisons with other post-communist countries. Focusing on developmental issues, the book looks at a number of public concerns including social and health care reform, privatization and the emerging patterns of corporatism. The author examines problems such as insufficient legislation, excessive lenience and the incompetence of public administration which has created an unreasonably large space for socio-pathological forces - corruption, Mafia activity and the siphoning of public funds into private hands.

The causes and consequences of these forces are considered and Potu(ek provides a blueprint of reform which emphasizes the necessity of a conscious public policy to optimize freedom while still addressing issues of inequality. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
