ARTISAN SUPPLY AND TRADE COOPERATIVES (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Summary/Abstract: Performance of economic activities, including trades, by private individuals with their own means of production is regulated by the Federal Constitution, especially amendment XXIV. Private work is also discussed in the Resolution pertaining to private work with private means of production passed by the Federal Conference of the Socialist Alliance of the Working People of Yugoslavia, and in the Resolution on Employment Policy adopted at the Second Congress of Self-Managers of Yugoslavia. Since the passage of the constitutional amendments the socialist sector of the economy has found it increasingly interesting; to cooperate with private artisans. This cooperation, cannot, however, adequately prosper without some intermediary agency because of the great fragmentation and heterogeneity of private trades. This has, inter alia, been confirmed by the experience of the developed European countries in which trades are much less fragmented.
