THE END OF ECONOMIC REFORM IN 1960s CZECHOSLOVAKIA AND SLOVAKIA

LONDAK, Miroslav. The End of Economic Reform in 1960s Czechoslovakia and Slovakia. Historicky casopis, 2009, 57, Supplement, pp. 105-125, Bratislava. The aim of the study is to examine, on the basis of documents in the National Archives of the Czech Republic, the final part of the process of economic reform developed in Czechoslovakia almost from the beginning of the 1960s. After the invasion of the occupation armies in August 1968, its end was definitively decided, in spite of the fact that there was still some verbal support for the continued development of the economic reform and some space for the presentation of theoretical views that were not in harmony with the official policy. In this period during 1968, as well as during the so-called pre-spring, Slovak economists formulated some interesting views.
