". . . economics has become increasingly an arcane branch of mathematics rather than dealing
with real economic problems"
Milton Friedman


"[Economics as taught] in America's graduate schools... bears testimony to a triumph of
ideology over science."
Joseph Stiglitz
Moje prace o nem zde.


"Existing economics is a theoretical [meaning mathematical] system which floats in the air and
which bears little relation to what happens in the real world"
Ronald Coase


"We live in an uncertain and ever-changing world that is continually evolving in new and novel
ways. Standard theories are of little help in this context. Attempting to understand economic,
political and social change requires a fundamental recasting of the way we think"
Douglass North


"Page after page of professional economic journals are filled with mathematical formulas […]
Year after year economic theorists continue to produce scores of mathematical models and to
explore in great detail their formal properties; and the econometricians fit algebraic functions of
all possible shapes to essentially the same sets of data"
Wassily Leontief



"Today if you ask a mainstream economist a question about almost any aspect of economic life,
the response will be: suppose we model that situation and see what happens…modern
mainstream economics consists of little else but examples of this process"
Robert Solow

Hřebík: Nemocná není jen Sparta

Jako fanousek Sparty jsem z poslednich ctyrech let zoufaly. Kretinsky predstavoval celou dobu nadeji, ze ze Sparty udela moderni klub, ale nejde mu to. Bud to neumi, nebo to v ceskem prostredi nejde. Oboji je skoda. Co na to Hrebik ?

Historie 20.stoleti v jedne eseji

V zajimavem clanku docenta Havla bjevi mnozi trochu jiny pohled na ceske moderni dejiny
Pro zajemce o podobny vyklad historie doporucuji trilogii Valtra Komarka Kronika zoufalstvi a nadeje (trochu me prekvapilo, ze takova osobnost nema zaznam ve Wikipedii).
Komarek zde v er-forme proziva dvacate stoleti od tricatych let, vysvetluje hruzy druhe svetove valky, priklon naroda k Sovestkemu svazu a komunistum, otresne procesy padesatych let. Druhy dil se venuje letum sedesatym, kdy Komarek pracoval u Che Guevary a prozival Prazske jaro v komunisticke strane.
Treti dil, ktery jsem jeste necetl, ma zavest ctenare az do soucasnosti.
Jazykove je kniha velmi ctiva a poucna, zajimave je propojeni lidskych osudu s politicko-mocenskymi boji v Ceskoslovensku. Druhy dil je chvilemi pomalejsi, Komarek pracuje na ministerstvu a myslim, ze organizacni strukture tohoto institutu venuje prilis mnho prostoru, nicmene celkove se jedna o hodnotne literarni dilo se zajimavym osudem jednoho cloveka v turbulentnich dejinach, ktere se - doufejme - jiz nebudou opakovat.

And the winner is...

I would like to thank everybody who were supporting me during the whole contest.
The hard work paid off..

I hereby declare the award was not obtained by means of Lukas Slanina 's backstairs influence

Unfortunately the travel voucher is for the fastest of all unis..
I didn't win anything apart from being listed on the Deloitte web page (which is almost the same value, though)
