It would also be a threat to central planning. Unfortunately, old-line functionaries, anxious to preserve their jobs and perquisites, have dug in. Pointing to a modest upturn in the lagging Czech economy (the result of a peak investment cycle), the purists have stalemated a large part of the new model...
