Yugoslavia in Crisis Book

Yugoslavia's system of "socialist self-management," once touted by many as the most efficient of east European systems, has since 1979 been plagued by inflation, falling wages, and economic deline. Here, Lydall presents an original study of the operation of the Yugoslav system. He surveys the social and political tensions resulting from this decline and the possible future of the ruling party as it attempts to improve the economy and maintain power. This book holds important implications for the future of socialism in both East and West.
