Sažetak
This paper analyses the topic of the non-working Sunday in the trade sector in Croatian society. It details a decades-long chronology that shows the opposition of entrepreneurial initiatives to public opinion and the demands of the civil sector, primarily from the trade unions and church associations. Several attempts to regulate this issue will be addressed with specific reference to the COVID-19 pandemic context together with previous research findings on the subject. We then focus on presenting the original empirical findings on the non-working Sunday collected within the ‘CRO Laudato Si’ Project’, which corresponds to previous findings that most Croatian citizens, especially Catholic believers, support the idea of regulating work on Sunday to sustain the prevailing context of social well-being and religious freedom versus the economic criteria of profitability and market freedoms. To that extent, the title embodies the dilemma as to whether a good society or a society of goods represents the essence of this long-term struggle in Croatian society, the outcome of which has yet to be determined.
