The paper deals with the so-called Šik’s reform in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s – its origin, implementation and consequences. After the critique of theoretical basis of the reform using the multidisciplinary approach of Austrian school, the paper formulates conclusions on the importance of this reform process. The results of the analysis are then examined in a wider context of the 1960s. The emphasis is put on the social, cultural and political development of this period. Combining the economic theory and history, the results of the thesis do not only contribute to the explanation of the consequences of the reform, but also to the theoretical debate on the implementation of socialism and its reformability.

The study deals with the short period between 1967 and 1969 in terms of the reform process, especially its economic components. Specifically, it focuses on the issue of the renewal of small business within the socialist economy. It analyses the changes in the normative system, media narratives, and government representations, and practical steps to implement reforms. It finds contradictions between the information that was reaching the public space and the actual and intended state. Archival and normative sources present a completely different picture than the one presented by the uncensored press before 1969. From this contradiction and other aspects, assessed through the established theoretical equipment of economics, it can be deduced that even the economic reform of 1968 would not lead to the restoration of even a small business.
