Summary/Abstract: The article responds to a reviewed article by Jaroslav Vostatek in this issue of Social Policy Forum devoted to the pension system, proposals for pension reform and related areas. The author presents a number of arguments that support the reform proposals suggested by Jaroslav Vostatek and stresses the need for careful structuring, interdependence and the harmonisation of individual reform phases. At the same time, however, the author considers complexity to present a key threat to the reform process, not only because of its complex nature and the difficulty of finding the necessary consensus, but also because of the anticipated resistance of the various lobbying parties that have benefitted over the long-term from the present chaotic (non)system.
