Poljoprivreda u karlovačkoj općini u vrijeme reformi u FNRJ (1960. – 1961.) / Agriculture in Karlovac County During the Income Reform of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia (1960-1961)

Abstract

In March of 1961, the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia commenced the economic reform which mainly addressed the system of income distribution between the economic organizations, i.e. companies and the state. With this reform the companies were granted more rights in the distribution of income. In line with this reform, the state bodies would no longer determine the wages while the self-governing bodies could independently decide about the accumulation, spending and personal income. The companies started to give out irrationally high wages, without taking into the account the low productivity and the scarcity of resources. The author, using the descriptive-interpretative method shows in this article the impacts of the income reform on the agricultural circumstances in the Karlovac County from 1960 to 1961. The basis for this work are unpublished archives, newspaper articles and the relevant historiographic literature.
