Czech Republic: Cheap land needs buyers, and sellers
6 July 200915 Respekt Prague
A former advisor to Václav Havel and a member of the Czech National Economic Council, the 35-year-old Prague man is the author of the international best-seller on the history of economics from the perspective of the Bible, myths and literature. His secret: a remarkable ability to sell himself along with his ideas. 
Close to 20 years after the departure of the Red Army, growing numbers of Russians are choosing to live in Prague. Some are businessmen with links to the Kremlin, who worry the Czech government, but there are also students and entrepreneurs seeking a new life outside modern day Russia. 
Agricultural land costs much less in the Czech Republic than it does elsewhere in Europe. The Prague weekly Respekt wonders if a ban on land sales to non-Czechs, set to end in 2011, will herald an invasion of rich European farmers.
