An Overgrown State and a Struggling Economy. The Czech Economy Needs a Cleanse, Says an Economist

The Czech economy is blocked, it is not breathing under the weight of state interventions, says Martin Slaný, chief economist of the DRFG investment group, in an interview for MF DNES. "It is not just about taxes, subsidies, redistribution. The state is interfering more and more in everyday matters. Everyone has become accustomed to reaching out to the state," he says, calling on the future government to change.
