RECEPTION OF KEYNES IN CROATIA

Zvonimir Baletić

Sažetak

The works of John Maynard Keynes had influenced very early the formation of economic views among Croatian economists, earlier than his major theoretical works were written. His financial studies from 1920s were debated with interest in professional circles, and in reference literature were recommended in 1929. This interest grew much stronger in 1930s, especially after the publication of his General
Theory and after a number of Croatian economists visited Cambridge. The most active among them was Milan Fišter, who studied under Keynes, and during the War (1944) edited Keynes′s selected works, published by Matica hrvatska, a leading national cultural institution. Unfortunately, the edition was banished and
destroyed by the pro-fascist regime. With the establishment of the communist regime after the war the obligatory marxist ideology was imposed, Keynes was put on a list of unwanted economic authors, but this hard ideological attitude gradually melted down, and Keynes was again introduced in professional and public debates, especially after the General Theory was published in Belgrade, and up
to mid-1960s Keynes had become a part of the standard reference literature at university and research institutions.
