Text Quotes
We must have the time to create strict rules so that property is not sold by Communist managers for a low price. They often get payments under the table to sell to the first bidder. This does not build public support for a market economy (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Common foreign policy is completely unnecessary. The various European countries have widely differing priorities, goals and prejudices. It would be wrong to force them all to follow the same course. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work, and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
It is obvious that the monetary union among 17 very different European countries does not work. As an economist, I know that the Eurozone is not an optimum currency area, as defined in economic theory. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Those of us who lived under communism for most of our lives were looking toward the Western world because of its values, emphasis on democracy, individual liberties and freedom, and economic prosperity. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
EU didn’t advance our [Eastern Europe] democracy by a single millimeter (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Privatization of the state-owned economy is not yet on the agenda. We cannot do it immediately; my colleagues would not agree to it. But we must put all forms of ownership on an equal footing immediately and let different types of ownership compete with the state firms. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Czech Republic is an important part of central Europe. It’s clear that we must participate in European integration. I am convinced that the Czech Republic - or, in the past, Czechoslovakia - would have been one of the founding members of the EU if it hadn’t been for the communist takeover in 1948. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
I do not consider the Lisbon Treaty to be a good thing for Europe, for the freedom of Europe, or for the Czech Republic. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
I’m absolutely convinced that the very small global warming we are experiencing is the result of natural causes. It’s a cyclical phenomenon in the history of the Earth. The role of man is very small, almost negligible. (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
We served on the editorial board of a literary monthly called Face in 1968 and 1969. He was a young writer, and I was also interested in broad cultural issues. We agreed on all major issues and became friends (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Then in 1969, I spent the spring term at Cornell University in New York. The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
That means following a very restrictive fiscal and monetary policy which will squeeze the monopolies and cut their subsidies. On the micro level we will allow other economic agents, both domestic and foreign, to compete with them (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
Nevertheless, there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology, if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
I also helped write the five-page statement of principles that Civic Forum issued in late November. That was the first public expression of what the new government wanted to do (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
You cannot have democratic accountability in anything bigger than a nation state (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
The events in the square, of course, made a deep impression on me and many other parents (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity, is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
What is concisely referred to as global warming, is a fatal mistake of the present time (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
People like me who were engaging in brinkmanship with the party economic bosses and the open dissidents who were being arrested were pursuing a common goal in different ways (Vaclav Klaus Quotes)
