The venture and private-capital branch in Central Eastern Europe is less developed than in the EU 15, but has greater potentials. Hungary is gaining increasingly from its initial edge in the region, while steadily approaching the norms of the EU. On the positive side, this means growth and globalization of the capital bases, rising importance of takeovers, and greater variation in exits. On the negative side, firms in the early stage of development encounter also in the EU difficulties in financing, the persistent drawbacks of a small national market, and reduced appearance of exceptional yields.

During the fourteenth and fifteenth century the whole of Europe witnessed the growing indebtedness of town authorities. Efforts were made to cover rising expenses connected with visits paid by rulers as well as military and diplomatic activity by selling rents. In this respect, the Baltic littoral was not an exception, as testified by the examples of Elbląg, Riga and Rewal, which since the 1380s distinctly increased their debts. For the municipal authorities as well as other participants the rent market comprised a source of long-term credits or locations of capital surpluses. Despite certain analogies, the councils of the analysed towns opted for assorted strategies on the credit market. The ultimate selection depended on local conditions and the economic situation of a given town. The activity of the town authorities on the rent market was also associated with the specificity of urban religiosity during the Middle Ages, based on foundations; some of the latter were supervised by the councils, which also managed their property. The presence of town authorities on the rent market was rather insignificant and totalled about 10% of the global turnover. As a rule, the councils sought high credit and rarely invested.

Retail in large store-chains extended in well-developed countries. 465 million inhabitants express their supply on their markets; between 2000 and 2005 sales values were increasing; the increase-sources were the promotional prices, as well as the European buyers' availability to respond to the supply's diversity. After the political events that happened after 1989, in Romania appeared large hypermarket-chains and supermarket-chains, most of them being transnational companies that developed their own business in our country. Due to these commercial-units, the retail-value in Romania grew in a spectacular way, with more than 85% during 2000-2005 period, although from the retail-value per inhabitant point of view, we are far behind other European countries' level. The number of retail-commercial units, as well as the sales-purchasing value in these units characterizes the commercial sector situation in a country. For a comparative analysis at territorial level, for different European Union's countries, we will realize a multicriterial hierarchy, based on the two statistical indicators previously mentioned, and on other two general macroeconomic indicators: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per inhabitant and unemployment-rate. The main European Union's countries hierarchy based on the four criteria was realized by two statistical methods: the ranks' method and the relative-distance method from the maximum performance unit.

This article describes the main developments in trading activities in the Spiš region. This region was a major trading area, which boasted important international trading routes from prehistoric times. Settlements were built on and near these trading routes, later giving rise to the markets. The settlements engaged in international trade in the Spiš region as early as in the thirteenth century. Besides the chief trading centres of Kežmarok and Levoča, there were numerous medium-sized cities, which have also developed into important trading centres. For this reason, competition among these cities was characteristic of the economic development in this region.

If the research results serve their purposes, the supporters of specific ideologies make use of them in political actions such as educational reforms. That does not leave too much room for neutrality. The fact is that the debates on education have always been political struggles about who shall specify what should be taught. The two decades of attempts to integrate the public education system with the market brought about sectarian controversies in the USA. The supporters of a democratic school are convinced that its major aim is to shape citizenship as a way of living, while the advocates of a market school think that such aim consists in shaping consumption as a way of living. The latter ones say that they put forward instrumental means to achieve the required and universal targets. The conflict between these camps is normative and philosophical. It focuses on the question who and what shall set up political aims of public education. The key question in this dispute is a question whether the market is a utilitarian and instrumental answer to a clearly specified set of educational problems or whether it is an ideological agenda. The clarification of positive and normative dimensions of market theory and neoliberal ideology will be one of the aims of this paper.

The aim of the paper is to analyse determinants of Chinese outward direct investment in Africa. Dominant theories of foreign direct investment suggest the main motives to invest abroad include cost savings, search for resources, search for new markets and effort to enhance market position. We expose these motives to a statistical analysis based on data on Chinese investments in 50 African countries for time period 2003 – 2011. We use descriptive statistics based on outer terciles of sorted statistical series, pooled regression and fixed effects model. We come to the conclusion that main determinants of Chinese outward direct investment in Africa are size of the domestic market, abundance in natural resources and good trade links with the country.

The article is focused on theoretical considerations aimed at defining and delimitation of the ranges of public and private spheres. Such considerations are justified by the fact that the theory of state and of public sector, as well as fundamentals of economic analysis and regulation of the public sphere, constitute a relatively poorly developed part of the theory of economics. On the other hand, the public sphere and the demand for effective methods of its development become larger due to increasingly complicated social, political and economic relations, an increasingly tough competition and bitter rivalry, the density of population in most parts of our globe and a deeper and deeper disproportion in the development of particular areas.

The effective functioning of the economic and trade associations (unions) recently exposed a serious ordeal for stability under the influence of economic crisis and the new security challenges, among which the most dangerous are military conflicts, uncontrolled migration, terrorism and environmental threats, economic and social conflicts. The negative effects of these factors are transformed, first of all, the disintegration tendencies in trade and economic associations, as exemplified by the withdrawal of Great Britain (known as «Brexit») with the European Union. The article sets out the results of the analysis of economic and institutional consequences – economic, investment, financial, political and social – for the economy of the UK and the European Union. Also the organizational, economic and legal priorities for implementation of the necessary procedures for the release of Great Britain from the European Union as a common market are identified.

There have been many changes in internal trade during last ten years. Businessmen make use of not only well known instruments as it is obvious in the environment of strong competition. They try to diversify business activities to sales programmes in order to meet the customer's needs regarding the quality, ethics and information transfer. Customers got used to a convenient offer of consumer goods and adjust their behaviour accordingly to it. The retailers approach this phenomenon in different ways depending on their ability to understand and make advantage of these behaviour changes.

The paper focuses on alienated work, a classical sociological concept which attracted a lot of attention. It discusses its roots in Marx’s works, its dimensions, and issues of essentialism and human nature. Against the background of the great variety of approaches to alienated work in the 20th century, attention is paid to systematization and review of main arguments both in theoretical and empirical studies, with the emphasis on the Marxist interpretations. High level of abstraction, difficulty with empirical validation on the one hand and loss of critical power and normativity through use in empirical surveys on the other hand belonged to the most frequent challenges discussed so far. The article explores a possibility how critical social theory could contribute to the revitalization of the concept of alienated work. It focuses on the arguments of Axel Honneth regarding work, including his early critique of Habermas and his later treatment of work within the theory of recognition.
