...Slovak, presented the scheme a year ago when he ousted from power President and Party Boss Antonin Novotny, a Czech. Historically, the more bucolic Slovaks have felt oppressed by the urbanized and sophisticated Czechs, who outnumber them by nearly 3 to 1.

Balance of payments problems would automatically disappear, along with the onerous controls and taxes imposed to try to solve them. Few policymakers accept such a radical proposal, but support is increasing for the related idea of permitting currencies to fluctuate within a "band" of 3% to 5% of their par value. Thus Friedman may not gain all of what he wants, but he stands to get a good deal...
