Mechanizm gospodarczy po reformie

Abstract

The author intended to present those theoretical and practical aspects of the economic reform which were not considered in the papers published hitherto. In the presented approach the author tried to give evaluation of the reform from the point of view of its influence on the overall economic relations. Opposing its instrumental interpretation the importance of the reform is stressed in conection with the explanation of mistunderstandings concerning the relationship between market and plan. There is no contradidtion between these two cathegories. There is only contradiction between market and imperative management and between plan and imperative, centralised management. Vdsion of the economic mechanism arising from the economic reform is mostly analysed. Necessity of essential changes in economic mentality required by the reform is strongly stressed. The author evaluated the hitherto presented by the governmental agencies proposals concerning the reform. The document called „Directions of economic reform" was critically evaluated because it contains too many salvos for the so called „transitions solutions" incompatible with a new economic system. The Ministry Council's Resolution of the 1st December 1982 on the activity rules of the state enterprises in 1982 was in general positively evaluated.
