 False StartsLjubo Sirc Chapter 6 in The Yugoslav Economy under Self-Management, 1979, pp 63-82 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract At the end of the 1950s, things looked much brighter in Yugoslavia mainly because of the more pragmatic approach which led the communists to stop trying to plan all the minutiae and to redirect investment as far as the existing production structure would allow. This structure was the sore point as to improve it would have meant running down or even closing many new enterprises, something that was apparently politically impossible. Maybe the Yugoslav leaders hoped to overcome this difficulty by reverting to the old structure of investment in the 1961–5 Social Plan, but this was hardly consistent with the simultaneous widening of the jurisdiction of workers’ councils which were supposed to act on the basis of the essential harmony between the interests of society and of enterprises and their members. At the same time, possibly to placate those who thought that pragmatism was not socialist, new nationalisation measures were adopted: the last private surgeries were eliminated, most housing was taken into public ownership and long-term action to replace private smallholders was initiated.
