Švec, Petr ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
The main idea of this bachelor thesis is to describe and evaluate policies of the U.S. administration that has influenced both economic and social development of the United States of America in 1940s. Description and analysis of economic development in that time period and identification of its causes are included as well. Regarding that this thesis also tries to bring a different point of view to the discussion of when did the U.S. reconversion start and when did it end. From the analytics point of view a special attention has been given to the changes of certain aspects of the U.S. economy in the 1940s. The main ones include the structure of demand (private vs. public), structure of total investment demand (private vs. public), structure of total public demand (military vs. non-military expenses), national debt growth, inflation processes from 1946 to 1948, tax rate and others. Possible causes of so called "ratchet effect", both those tax and institutional ones are also being investigated in this bachelor thesis.

Labor market in the USA on the turn of 19th century
Filip, Jan ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
My Bachelor work is devoted to the problems of deformations of labor market under the influence of institutions such as labor unions, federal government of the US and a judicial power. Most importantly it aspires to answer questions as: Why do employees join labor unions? Are labor unions beneficial for the economy? Do the government regulations have anticipated results? I consider this field of economics to be ever actual and very important. First of all I will make an effort to identify what made the workers join the unions, what ways the employers implied to prevent them and if union activities could be marked as economically beneficial. After that I will try to analyze government interventions into the labor market, at what extent they were successful and what their true intentions were if different to the proclaimed ones. In the last part I will make use of the American Federation of Labor as a case study. I will point out the reasons why it did not fall apart in contrast to other labor unions, resp. role it was fulfilling and the development of it intercrossing with politics and its relations towards government interferences. In conclusion I will attempt to summarize the consequences of the activities of unions, employers and government on the labor market.

Employment policy in the first New Deal
Kozlová, Lenka ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with problems of unemployment in the United States of America during the 30th years of the twentieth century, and especially the various projects in support of employment for the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the period of the first New Deal. Realization of these large public work projects was a response to the outbreak of the Great Depression, which resulted in the emergence of the historically highest levels of unemployment in U.S. history. Unemployment policy was the first step to state intervention and the consolidation of authority of the federal government through high government expenditure. These were necessary for financing of these therapy projects. For this reason, I analyze the influence of government spending to the federal budget and the growth and decline of unemployment from 1929 to 1935 (1940) and consequently their impact on the U.S. economy.

Privatization in Great Britain under the Thatcher Government
Zrasták, Marián ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
The victory of the Conservatives in the 1979 General Election brought a government into office which is traditionally said to pursue a programme of economic liberalism. The new government was determined to end British economic decline and the crisis of state authority by making an ideological and political break with the policy of consensus. But it was only after September 1981, when "the dries" achieved dominance in Conservative Government and the new liberal policy finally prevailed. Their goals were to reduce the role of the government in economy, to start privatization of nationalised industries and to achieve reduction in the size and scope of welfare state. This objective became an important part of Thatcher's second- and third-term economic policy. This thesis describes how the particular factors influenced the privatization programmes. The main aim is to answer the question whether the delays in privatization programmes were given by objective obstruction by Thatcher's political opponents and interest groups or whether "the dries" themselves did not support denationalization of strategic industries. The privatization is examined and brought into context of fiscal and monetary policy to unveil the role of privatization in Thatcher's economic policy. The success of privatization is limited by regulations imposed on denationalized industries and the author of this thesis puts emphasis on the description of the extent to which the members of the conservative party supported free market. The author uses a description of various privatization programmes, including related political and economical discussions, to answer these questions. The thesis includes a description of popular capitalism and a connection between foreign policy and privatization as well as the author's evaluation of privatization program.

Czechoslovakia and the Marshall plan
Matějková, Eva ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
The goal of my thesis is to characterize the role of the Marshall Plan of economic and political development of Czechoslovakia in the years 1945 to 1947. I'd like to focus on the status of the Czechoslovak economy after World War II, the principle of the Marshall Plan and related political negotiations based on the unreleased studio (archive Czech National Bank, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Archives) and issued by the sources and similar literature. Furthermore, I would like to analyze the response of individual political parties to become familiar with the discussions in newspapers and other media where appropriate. Consequently, I'm going to analyze Soviet policy in relation to Marshall plan. Attention will be also paid to the causes and consequences of the rejection of the Marshall Plan by Czechoslovakia and the subsequent effect on the orientations of Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe in the coming years.

Circumstances associated with announcement of so called Marshall plan
Beran, Jiří ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the situation which ocurred on the field of foreign relations in the two-year period after the World War Two. The main subject of my interest is foreign policy practised by the United States between years 1945-1947. Immediate postwar enthusiasm of president F. D. Roosvelt towards the ongoing colaboration with the Soviet Union was replaced by Truman's much cautious approach. It was Kennan's "Long Telegram" which ment the definite deflection of the White House to consider Stalin as an ally. The friction between world-powers escalated in the first half of 1947. The Congress approved the aid for Greece and Turkey (Truman Doctrine) meaning the oncoming of containment. Following that and regarding the European situation which appeared as a key one for the future worldwide arrangement, the Marshall Plan was announced on the 5th June 1947. My thesis offers answers to the following questions. What stood on the background of the decisions thanks to them the United States have chosen this direction? Did any other alternatives exist? What were the concrete consequences of the new American foreign politics?
