Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the fate of the first governor of the Czechoslovak Central Bank after World War II. It analyses his economic thinking and the sources that influenced it. The text sees him as deeply rooted in non-liberal Central European tradition but with a strong impact of Anglo-Saxon economics of the interwar period. The article also explores his contribution to the transition of the Czechoslovak economy to Soviet-type central planning and proves the hypothesis that his influence was much smaller than existing literature indicates.
