1) Svět ztrácí kotvu a začíná chaos, protože k mání není žádná náhradní. 
"Mánie" means 'mania, obsession,' but I'm not sure how to phrase the k 
mání here. Perhaps "...,because to everyone's frustration, there is no 
substitute [anchor]." Any suggestions?

mit k mani - to have to one's disposal, or simply - to have, NOT "manie"




2) Řeči o volném obchodu se dobře poslouchají na konferencích, voliči si 
ale na politicích obranu národních šampionů a pracovních míst vynutí. 
"National champions" doubtless refers to large companies like GM and 
Chrysler in the U.S., or let's say, Volvo and IKEA in Sweden. I'm trying 
to find a more common way of expressing the idea in English. Maybe 
"national powerhouses"?

i'd be certainly ok with 'national powerhouses'

all the best
