Immigration Is Not Threat To The Czech Economy; It Keeps It Running
In debates over immigration, one key fact often gets lost: the Czech Republic needs foreign workers. Without them, the economy would stall. The Czech labor market is tight. Unemployment has hovered near record lows for years—around 3% or less, one of the lowest rates in the EU. That might sound like good news, but it hides a structural problem: there are simply not enough people to fill the jobs.

Free Trade Fuels Prosperity. Trump’s Tariffs Are Making World Poorer
Donald Trump\'s trade policies are not just bad economics—they are an attack on individual freedom, global cooperation, and the principles that made America strong. Classical liberalism values free markets, open societies, and limited government interference in voluntary exchange. Trade is a cornerstone of this worldview. When two people—or two nations—exchange goods freely, both benefit. It is the essence of mutual gain.

Let’s Create Laws That Support Instead of Restrict: Look at Deregulation in Poland
Poland is taking significant steps towards deregulation, driven by the growing need to simplify its legal framework.

Will Deregulation in Poland and Europe Accelerate Growth?
The Polish economy depends on deregulation not becoming a passing trend or an episode of the election campaign. Deregulation has the potential to be a major driver of growth. If there were a contest for the economic buzzword of the year in Poland, “deregulation” would be a frontrunner. Thanks to Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s meeting with entrepreneurs in February 2025, the issue briefly rose to the forefront of Polish politics.

Writing and Written Symbols: Instruments of Freedom
Writing and written symbols accompany us everywhere—from shopping and street signs to the public realm and our homes. Language\'s complex encoding is so multifaceted that entire libraries could be filled with treatises on its origins, meaning, purpose, and relevance. Yet, writing and the ability to read and write are above all instruments of freedom.

Why the EU’s €800 Billion “Rearm Europe” Plan Might Not Be Enough
The new Trump administration’s recent political offensive targeted at the European Union, as well as its fairly ambiguous approach towards the question of the Russo-Ukrainian war, have led Brussels to initiate a desperate search for EU-based solutions within the sphere of security and defense. Decision-making processes stretching over the past few months have undergone a sudden acceleration.

Can Deregulation in Poland Succeed?
Deregulation has been a loaded word among many European politicians and experts lately, with growing discussions on reducing bureaucracy and easing the burden on citizens and businesses. However, is this often-used term and concept actually feasible? And how has progress been made on this so far?

Are Women Antidote to Right-Wing Populism?
Harassment, hate speech, violent online content, and disinformation—these are long-standing tactics of alt-right movements that are only now entering the mainstream of public debate. However, it is worth noting that women were their first targets years ago. Today, as the internet becomes increasingly radicalized and nationalist groups grow louder and more influential, we should ask: how have women fought against fascist environments?
