Why Are Baths, Hospitals, Railways Being Washed Out in Slovakia

Martin Vlachynsky and INESS/December 27, 2021December 22, 2021 /Leave a comment

The famous Art Nouveau hotel Rónai, later Royal, later Slovan, is now a preserved ruin in the center of Slovak Piešťany. During socialism it was completely “washed out”, like many other buildings that were either nationalized by socialism or built by socialism itself.

Let’s Talk about: Problem with Equality

Matus Posvanc and F.A. Hayek Foundation/December 14, 2021 /Leave a comment

Who wouldn’t want to be rich and who wouldn’t want us all to be rich equally? These are the old, well-known demands of left-wing political parties. It’s like a marvelous music for many ears. However, the forced realization of wellbeing and equality never turn out well. Why?

Lessons from Soviet Communism

Gia Jandieri and New Economic School Georgia/November 23, 2021 /Leave a comment

There are two camps of the former Soviets: one of the happy people because they are now free, and the second one of the unhappy, who still think everything back then was basically okay. I belong to the former and I am proud that I also took part in all possible types of anti-Soviet/communist activities.

Gia Jandieri and New Economic School Georgia/April 26, 2021April 27, 2021 /Leave a comment

Gia Jandieri and New Economic School Georgia/September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 /Leave a comment

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/May 24, 2020May 25, 2020 /Leave a comment

Wearing Iron Shoes: Justice Is No Free Lunch

Gia Jandieri and New Economic School Georgia/July 9, 2019October 23, 2019 /Leave a comment

One of the problems with the economic progress in the transition countries from socialism to market economy is the state of property rights. You can improve business environment, trade, or monetary systems but never progress if the property (rights) is not protected well.
