"Once the pride of interwar Czechoslovakia, and key during the forced industrialization of the Stalinist period, during the 1970s and 1980s the Czechoslovak railway sector showed the symptoms of the political tiredness and economic exhaustion of the Soviet Bloc. This book examines the failure of central economic planning through the lens of this national transport system.Based on the presentation of its history and on the detailed scrutiny of the actors, institutions, internal mechanisms, and conditions of the railway sector, the analysis reveals the identities of the real stakeholders in the state administration. This case shows how the country was governed by Communist Party institutions and government ministries, and how developments in the transportation sector-like in every sector-reflected their priorities. Numerous tables with selected statistics underscore the economic analysis and black and white photos offer a glimpse on the technical base of the railway sector.The book is filled with enlightening comparisons of the Czechoslovak transportation industry with its counterparts in the whole Eastern Bloc. Integration into the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) of the Bloc could have been an asset, yet the records have more to say about conflicts than cooperation"-- "Once the pride of interwar Czechoslovakia, and key during the forced industrialization of the Stalinist period, during the 1970s and 1980s the Czechoslovak railway sector showed the symptoms of the political tiredness and economic exhaustion of the Soviet Bloc.

Through a synoptic historical sweep of Canada, Spain, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, The Symbolic State shows us that institutions may be more important for what they mean than for what they do. This book is timely in an era when the power of symbols - Brexit, the Donald Trump presidency, the Black Lives Matter movement - is shaping global politics.

This reference book provides a review of domestic design around the world, featuring furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and products created in the last 18 months. This year's selection was made by the Czechoslovakian architect and designer Borek Sipek, whose original furniture and glassware have received international acclaim. The book spans designers such as Phillipe Starck, Etorre Sottsass and Achille Castiglioni and that of lesser known designers and students. Commentaries by Rick Poyner, contributing editor to "Blueprint" magazine and editor of the graphics magazine "Eye", highlight new tendencies and focus on individual designers, providing a background to their latest work. Full technical data is given for each design and a reference section includes biographies of the designers, details of suppliers, a directory of design publications and an update of acquisitions by the contemporary design collections of major museums worldwide.

La chute du communisme et l’effondrement économique des pays de l’Est ont donné au Plan Marshall du relief, voire de l’actualité : les responsables économiques et politiques ne se lassent pas d’interroger, à la lumière de la nouvelle donne mondiale, ce transfert financier et idéologique qui contribua, en grande partie, au redressement de l’Europe d’après-guerre. Quarante-cinq ans plus tard, il était plus que temps de dresser un état sérieux de cette question, jamais traitée dans son ensemble. Les spécialistes - historiens, économistes, responsables politiques - qui ont participé au colloque international qui lui fut consacré à Bercy sous l’égide du Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière, livrent ici leurs études et leurs réflexions. Ne se limitant pas à l’Europe et aux États-Unis, mais débordant aussi sur l’Extrême-Orient, celles-ci couvrent tous les aspects du Plan Marshall : économiques, industriels, financiers, mais aussi politiques, diplomatiques ou idéologiques...
