Establishment of central bank in USA
Hendrych, Filip ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
In December 1913 president of the United States W. Wilson signed Federal Reserve Act which declared American central bank and changed American banking system once and for all. Since that there is a permanent inflation in the United States which destroys value of dollar and influences life of people all over the world every single day. There was a long period of preparations before the act was signed. Many false reasons was submited to public to prove necessity of central bank and to hide the real reasons. There are many myths about establishment of the Federal Reserve System which I would like to clarify. There is many different opinion courses in economics. My bachelor thesis focused on this subject from Austrian point of view. Its primary focus is on the circumstances under which FED was established and on powerful people in the background whose influence was crucial during the time of foundation of this institution.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is analyse selected steps that have been taken and examine their practical impacts and effectiveness. This will be done with a help of corresponding statistics and data and their evolution in time. With respect to a large amount and complexity of programs it is necessary to introduce focus, costs and benefits of these programs and with a contribution of own analyses and calculations explore the impact on real world data. Stabilization programs i.e. TARP have proven to be more effective in general than stimulative ones as ARRA or QE2. ESA and CARS were half-effective while HOPE being a complete failure.

Implications, causes and possible reform of the current financial crisis by the Postkeynesian and Austrian view
Vondruška, Tomáš ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Chytil, Zdeněk (referee)
This diploma thesis is trying to describe implications of current financial crisis by the Postkeynesian and Austrian view. The introduction section focuses on course of events in the United States of America after the September 11 attacks on World Trade Center till outbreak of mortgage crisis in 2007. After 9/11 the Federal Reserve System started to unprecedentedly increase the money supply. Large amount of these new resources flowed to the real estate market. Incurred conditions and implications to other financial sectors till the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 are thoroughly studied. The causes of the crisis are being looked through the Postkeynesian and Austrian perspective in this thesis, because the major representatives of these two economic branches were able to predict the crisis coming. By using the works of the Postkeynesian and Austrian economists, possible solutions how to avoid this negative economic event in the future are being mentioned in the final part of this diploma thesis. Their suggestions and proposals contrast each other. Nevertheless I reach certain recommendation here, which shows government's interventions are inappropriate and functionless. These interventions have also harmful influence on the free-market economy function. Moreover they tend to deepen recessions. These arguments are being demonstrated on real cases.
