This study analyses the correspondence between Jan Kryštof Bořek, a Privy Council member, and the Czech aristocrat Jan Josef of Wallenstein, primarily from the 1720s. Both of them embraced mercantilist theories and with their assistance they sought to discover ways of improving the economic situation in the Czech Lands. Their correspondence reveals their thought processes in which mercantilism merged with the post-White Mountain (Baroque) patriotism. At the same time it also reveals much about the reflection of their own actions, because both Bořek and Wallenstein actively intervened in the formation of the economic environment in the Czech Lands: Bořek headed the office in charge of indirect taxes, Wallenstein was the head of a commercial collegium and he also operated a cloth-making manufactury. Thus, neither mercantilism or patriotism were abstract concepts; they provided a theoretical basis for real decision-making and practical activities.

The article deals with clerks and the administration at the Count of Vrtba’s estates towards the end of the 18th century. At that time, the count entrusted Josef František, Baron Puteani, with the administration of his estates. Puteani implemented a number of fundamental changes of both organizational and economic nature the aim of which was to modernize the administration, make it more effective and to increase yields from the estates. As a result, the process of the estates administration became more bureaucratic and higher demands were placed on the clerks regarding their education, efficiency and communication and office skills. On the other hand, they were given better salaries and more emphasis was placed on the social security of the clerks and other employees. Moreover, since the complex comprised of four individual estates, there were also better opportunities for career growth. At that time, the central administration of the Vrtba estates was strengthened as well. These organizational changes together with a number of economic measures fulfilled their purpose and they really resulted in better prosperity of the estates, especially of their agricultural plants.
