This book offers an alternative view of the transformation of the Czech society and economy in the post-communist period, from 1989. Lubomír Mlcoch's institutional analysis of the Czech neo-liberal transformation strategy and its results criticises Czech privatisation. Pavel Machonin offers a survey of recent theories of modernisation and considers the impact of the concept of comprehensive modernisation on Czech social development. Milan Sojka analyses the main factors contributing to the unsatisfactory outcome of the neo-liberal privatisation strategy and shows its negative influence on the restructuring process of former big state companies. The book was published in both Czech and English.
