The Order of Libertarian Society
Chudoba, Matěj ; Pavlík, Ján (advisor) ; Vlček, Miroslav (referee)
This thesis discusses the possibility of social order based strictly on market and liberty principles, thus without a state hegemony. Firstly It's said that the rules of social order don't have to be necessarily products of legislation. That implies that stateless society doesn't mean that rules don't exist at all. Next the thesis explains fundamental principles of libertarian ethics -- self-ownership, homesteading and non-aggression principle. These principles give us the answer why state is an institution incompatible with individuals' rights. In the last chapter, thesis discusses the possibilities of private providing of some public services and goods, which are provided by the state these days. Conclusion is that these public goods don't differ from any other goods provided on private basis, so institution of state isn't that vital as we are forced to believe.
The Legacy of Frédéric Bastiat
Chudoba, Matěj ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Pavlík, Ján (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with economic thought of Frédéric Bastiat; his complete work and fundamental ideas are introduced to readers. The biggest attention is paid to the "broken-window fallacy", e.g. preferring just immediate effects caused by a state intervention, and neglecting those long-term ones. The thesis presents a couple of examples of the impossibility to create even a single job vacancy by a state redistribution; the state only re-directs jobs from a private sector to the public one. The thesis follows up Bastiat's critic of protectionism and also demonstrates how a free international trade is veiled with a number of economic myths. Nor Bastiat's contribution in the domain of a spontaneous order and its difference from an artificially created socialist system is omitted. The aim of this work is not only to sum up his economic thinking but also to prove that his non-orthodox thoughts can be considered to be of a benefit for modern economics.
