Not the Right, but the Freedom to Cross Borders

Dominik Stroukal and Liberalni Institute/November 17, 2017November 20, 2017 /Leave a comment

The narrative of the whole debate is not about freedom, but about the right to travel. Probably not all people should have the right to live wherever they want, but everyone should have the freedom to try it. And, after all, data show that immigrants are beneficial to the economy.

Catalonia: An Issue Without a Way Out

Remy Morandi and Liberalni Institute/October 10, 2017November 6, 2017 /Leave a comment

The 90% of the 2.2 million people that took part in Catalonia’s referendum voted for the independence of the region. Only 7.8% voted against it. But the most relevant data is that only the 42.2% of the 5.3 million people entitled to vote went to the polls.

AfD: A Warning from Germany

Remy Morandi and Liberalni Institute/September 28, 2017September 28, 2017 /Leave a comment

Angela Merkel’s party, CDU, came in first in the German national election. However, this is not a great victory because what’s important here is that for the first time in post-World War 2 history, an extreme right-wing party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), came in third in the national election, getting around 13% of the votes.

Spain at the Fork

Remy Morandi and Liberalni Institute/September 25, 2017September 25, 2017 /Leave a comment

Spain is facing nowadays crucial issues for the national integrity. Approximately 40,000 people have taken to the streets in Barcelona after Guardia Civil has arrested 14 people in the offices of the Catalan government, some of whom are senior officials, like Josep Maria Jové, secretary general of economic affairs.

Medical Device Tax in the US: Too Costly to Bear

Oliver Jersild and Liberalni Institute/August 31, 2017September 12, 2017 /Leave a comment

In order to help fund the Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, the medical device tax was implemented in the U.S. at the beginning of 2013. It is a 2.3% excise tax on medical equipment such as heart valves, manufactured hip joints, pacemakers, etc. The tax has received bipartisan criticism for its negative effect on the medical devices industry.

Economy

GDP As an Economic Indicator

Tomas Perez and Liberalni Institute/August 15, 2017 /Leave a comment

Gross domestic product is undoubtedly a useful indicator of how the economy is performing. It shows one aspect of the economy that can be used to interpret a general level of “health.” However, while GDP is comparable to a simple doctor’s check-up, it isn’t as in-depth as a yearly physical.

On Extreme Extremists in an Extremist Way

Dominik Stroukal and Liberalni Institute/August 15, 2017 /Leave a comment

In social sciences, extremism is defined so vaguely that anybody can hide anything behind it. Anything can be outside the “mainstream”. However, if status quo is the mainstream, well – who is not an extremist then? Extremes simply do not meet, and to be an extreme defender of morality cannot be punishable.

The Czech Smart City: Communication, New Technologies, and No Useless Business Solutions

Ales Rod and Liberalni Institute/May 2, 2017 /Leave a comment

Equally promising is that many politicians have clearly understood what clever solutions are: connecting the already existing services, using of the current state of knowledge, putting pressure on solutions implemented through open online platforms, encouraging interactions with citizens, among others.

4 Arguments against Airbnb in Prague a.k.a. Planned Regulation Is a Nonsense

Ales Rod and Liberalni Institute/May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 /Leave a comment

In recent weeks, Prague City councillors have found a new hobby – they verbally attack the popular Airbnb sharing platform, which brings annually more than 700,000 foreigners to the Czech Republic. However, the arguments used to support an immediate regulation of Airbnb are definitely not based on rational analysis of the topic.

Czech Regional Elections: The Age of Coalitions Is Upon Us

Michal Hejl and Liberalni Institute/January 17, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

On October 7 and 8, Czech voters elected members of regional assemblies. Negotiations are over, coalitions have been made, so it is a good time for an ex-post analysis. After the election, the assembly elects both regional governor and council by majority vote, which means that coalitions rule the regions.
