The paper links the problem of inventory hoarding in centrally planned economies to the more general question of economic reforms. Any reform not only attempts to change the performance of a national economy but also formulates the principles of social change; economic reforms have their ethical dimension. Special interest is devoted to the conditions which influence the behaviour of socialist enterprises, particularly in Czechoslovakia.
