Management Summary Research Study „‘Each to one’s own‘: Albín Bráf’s Czech school of national economy”

This paper explores the development of Czech economic thought within the context of the nineteenth-century Czech National Revival. Influenced by Classical Political Economy, the German Historical School, and Austrian economics, Czech economists faced the challenge of advancing economic development for a nation without a state. Key issues included lending difficulties, a lack of entrepreneurship, and inadequate institutional infrastructure. A distinct Czech School of National Economy emerged around Albín Bráf to address these problems through education and national economic agitation. Using primary sources, the paper traces their contributions to economic thought and their influence on political and legislative changes.
