Abstract: The personality and economic theory of Albín Bráf (1851-1912), professor of political economy at the Prague university, were milestones in the development of Czech economic thought.He started lecturing at the university in the Czech language (1877), and he defined the subject-matter of political economy, methods and relations between the disciplines. He adopted a new approach to the relationship between national-economy theory and economic policy. He devised a concept of the "Czech national-economy revival" on the basis of this approach as a vision addressing the ripe social and economic problems of the Czech society. Albín Bráf won over the whole generation of Czech economists by his concept. The dissemination of his ideas was facilitated by his pedagogic mastery on the ground of Charles University and Institute of Technology in Prague. His legacy was promoted, among others, by Cyril Horáček (1862-1943) and Josef Gruber (1865-1925), Albín Bráf's successors at the Prague university.
