THE CROATIAN CULTURAL CLIMATE AND ITS ADJUSTMENT TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Mario Bogdanović
Abstract
Attending from the thesis that according to dominant virtues of a certain society its economic success could be predicted, that the cultural values are important for economic development, and that by internalisation of specific sets of social values a signifi cant support for economic development could be given, this paper has set up two goals: to defi ne the cultural values for economic development and to defi ne the agents for Croatian cultural change in the function of Croatian economic development. The first goal is reached by the list of attributes and values of an ideal and economic prosperous society, versus attributes and values of economic stagnant societies. The second goal is reached by defining the agents for Croatian cultural change by the elements: a) socio-economic orientation as an agent for cultural adjustment; b) education as an agent for cultural adjustment; c) cultural adjustment of governing-administrative institutions; d) general cultural adjustment to the culture of work, love and learning.
