Ondrej Slechta replied to Navid Firouz's discussion South Korea in top ten List of Countries by Export in 2012?"Mike,
You need to realize that the original Akamatsu's Flying Geese paradigm is a trade/development model and distinguish the way it contributes to the economic theory as an alternative to other trade/development theories developed at that time…"
Ondrej Slechta replied to Philipp Grunwald's discussion The Guardian: South Korea's economic reforms – a recipe for unhappiness"It is unsurprising to see this line of thinking coming from Prof. Chang. In the above article, he (while mixing apples, oranges, and bananas, in my view, to support his argumentation) is essentially saying that a welfare state makes people feel…"
Ondrej Slechta replied to Eun-Shil Park's discussion Quarter of Korean households suffer 'absolute poverty' in 5 years"It's just wrong translation. Relative poverty threshold in that research is defined as 중위소득의 50%, i.e. 50% of median income.

Ondrej Slechta replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion KBC Relay Interview with Dai Billington (September 1, 2011) - "From British Embassy Trade Specialist to Financial Advisor to the International Community in Korea”"Eun-Shil, such company does not legally exist in the Czech Republic nor it is registered with the local regulator as a provider of investment/financial advisory services.
The above LinkedIn profile seems rubbish."

- who are the people behind…"

Ondrej Slechta replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion Korea Business Central Exclusive Interview - Dick Warmington, "Uncovering Korean Potential at Chadwick School in Korea's New City of Songdo""So according to you Europe is a successful society?
Last time I checked it was falling apart - to a large extent precisely due to these kinds of crypto-socialist political experiments."
Ondrej Slechta replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion Korea Business Central Exclusive Interview - Dick Warmington, "Uncovering Korean Potential at Chadwick School in Korea's New City of Songdo""I do find this presentation disturbing but for different reasons.
