Austria blends practical socialism with thrift and values under Brono Kreisky.

Austria's success rooted in policy and people
Former U.S. Ambassador Henry Owens argues Austria’s growth comes from government staying out of business, stable leadership under Kreisky, and a strong welfare state. Wage price controls via a social partnership keep inflation low, while unions cooperate and the schilling may rise as US rates fall.
