Support for 'Best of All Possible Worlds'

24 economists from the banking sector, NGOs and public institutions have called on politicians to support an initiative called 'The Best of All Possible Worlds-Value for Money in Slovak Public Policies'. One of the co-architect of this was missing, presumed deceased economist Martin Filko. Apart from him, the authors are also Štefan Kiss and Ľudovít Ódor. According to the text of the appeal, the initiative stands a good chance of significantly improving the quality of decision-making processes regarding public resources in Slovakia and could facilitate the search for the best cost-benefit solutions, in this case in terms of benefit to society. "We're convinced that the initiative has the potential to serve as a key reform on Slovakia's path to becoming a well-governed country", said Economic Analysts Club chair Juraj Kotian. Martin Filko's canoe capsized on the Danube River on Monday, March 28, but his body still hasn't been found. The text states that the tragedy probably means that Slovakia has lost a respected economist, leader and administrator, but it doesn't have to lose his work. Martin Filko has left this behind as his legacy and 'public testament'. In addition, the initiative signatories consider it important for the Government to commit itself to carrying out The Best of All Possible Worlds in its Manifesto.
