Abstract
We consider the thesis (also discussed theoretically on the basis of empirical data in Zieleniec, 1990) that partial economic reform is not possible without privatization. Any such attempt necessarily leads to deadlocking in “reform pitfall” (Zieleniec, 1990). We explain the conditions that are necessary for realization of the privatization process, conditions that are common for postcommunism countries as well as the specific conditions in zechoslovakia. We also analyze the current results of this process in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.
