The chapter focuses on the rhetoric of the former Czech Prime Minister (1992-1996) Václav Klaus who was one of the most successful actors in leading the nation to particular post-revolutionary path. It analyzes Klaus's notions of socialism and capitalism and his typically strong rhetoric with the help of which he led the country towards the Thatcherite variant of neoliberalism.
Therefore, the aim is also to focus in more detail on how Klaus was inspired by British Conservatives and Margaret Thatcher in particular.
