This article is focused on the composition & development of the so-called Scandinavian approach to economic policy. The first part describes its three main posts, this is labor market, public sector, & social equality. Two main streams of Swedish labor-market policy are centralized wage bargaining managed by the Rehn-Meidner model under the motto "equal wage for equal work," which was transformed into "equal wage" & the so-called active labor-market policy. The second part deals with macroeconomic policy & progressive market regulation & competition obstacles, & the third part introduces the Swedish tax system with its highly progressive tax rates & its 1985 & 1991 tax reform. 2 Tables, 9 Graphs, 27 References.

We use EU SILC data for the Czech Republic to estimate the size of the motherhood penalty for the period 2006-2017. We find out that adjusted motherhood penalty amounts to 11-15% in the period 2006-2008. At that time, the Czech Republic appeared to be comparable to countries such as Germany and the UK. However, the motherhood penalty effectively disappears after 2009 and the Czech Republic is now placed in the same group with Scandinavian countries, France and Belgium. Despite that, there are still many obstacles for mothers to increase their labour market participation, which translate mainly into wage penalties via the experience and labour intensity channels. The study also supports other general evidence from cross-country motherhood penalty comparisons, motherhood penalty being mostly a phenomenon of middle-educated, married women located outside large cities, employed in private industry and having more than one child.

Der Verfasser zeichnet die Karriere, Grundsätze und Politik des Schöpfers des deutschen "Wirtschaftwunders", um zu veranschaulichen, daß dieses auf einer sozialen Marktwirtschaft gründete. Anders in der Tschechoslowakei seit 1989, wo die Konzeption einer "Marktwirtschaft ohne Attribute" proklamiert wurde. Bei der Absenz legislativer Regulative für das Funktionieren und für die Kontrolle der auf dem Markt wirkenden Kräfte verwandele sich die "unsichtbare Hand des Marktes" in eine dunkle Hand wirtschaftlicher Kriminalität und Korruption. Es kommen solche private und Gruppeninteressen zur Geltung, die jegliche Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft verachten. In Anlehnung auf die Grundthesen des Werkes von Adam Smith "The theory of moral sentiments" folgert der Autor, daß ohne Gerechtigkeit auf die Dauer keine Gesellschaft existieren kann. (BIOst-Hrs)
