Abstract

The Rise and Fall of the Command-Planned Economy in Yugoslavia (1947−1951)

Abstract: The radical transformation of society that began in Yugoslavia in 1945 had endogenous and exogenous roots. By winning the war, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia had the opportunity to create new directions for the development of Yugoslav society. Ideological peer on the Soviet Union and the absence of their own experiences determined the choice of development model. Thus, the management of the economy according to the command-planning principles developed in the USSR became one of the most important segments of the Yugoslav determination to build socialism. The split with the Soviets in the summer of 1948 caused a change in attitudes towards everything that came from Moscow, and thus the continued implementation of the centrally planned economic model was called into question. This paper will provide insight into the establishment, development and disappearance of macroeconomic planning in the economy during the early stage of Yugoslav socialism.
