Sažetak
This article reconstructs and interprets Bakarić’s views on the causes of reproduction
of extensive economic development in Yugoslavia in the historical
context. Emphasis is put on Bakarić’s political-economic criticism of the
ideology and practice of Yugoslav socialism. His research into the causes of
the economic structure’s lack of balance and the consequences thereof starts
from the etatist relations of production, which were the basic framework and
an insurmountable obstacle to the possibility of their liberalization. He found
the causes of imbalance in the bureaucratic relations and in the basic motives
of the governing stratum to ensure – through incessant new big investments –
mass employment, improvement of the standard of living, additional influx to
the budget and preservation of the monopoly of party power. A long process
of gradual, slow and uneven development of self-government in an unequally
developed multiethnic community did not make it possible to break out of
the vicious circle. Frequent normative and organizational changes concealed
constant political debates and conflicts regarding budget distribution and fiscal
solidarity among the republics and regions. Bakarić was critical towards
the governing stratum, which focused on distribution instead of fulfilling prerequisites
for far-reaching changes of the economic and social system, and
this resulted in a general crisis and in the collapse of the Yugoslav model of
socialism.
