Sažetak
After the World War I and dissolution of the prewar empires building nation states has been going hand in hand with building the national economies in the Central-East and Southeast Europe. In the case of the interwar Yugoslavia the „problem“ was, the state consisted of multinational (and multi confessional) society and, if one may say so, of multicultural economies in varied state of development. As M. Mirković and M-J. Calic pointed out Yugoslavia inherited not only six customs areas and five currencies, but diverse tradition of economic practices that were struggling through the unification process. And as if that didn’t complicate the situation enough, there was also a lack of domestic capital necessary for building national economy. The paradox is not lost on the fact that at approximately the same time of appropriation and nationalization of foreign, mainly Austrian and Hungarian firms, national debate of Yugoslav financial and economic experts is instigated in order to determine whether domestic economy can benefit from a foreign capital. One among the experts noted that capital is nor foreign nor national, but anational and concerned only about profit. In the 1920-ies the economic/business practices in Yugoslavia bore witness of the sort of clinging to the old ways and old associates. By the time the laissez faire ended and the unprecedented Slump took over the international economy, in Yugoslavia the King’s proclamation on January 6th 1929 introduced the integral yugoslavism as the principle of state centralism and unitarism. In the paper authors analyze the dissemination of “internal harmony” brought by the unification process of South Slavs after 1918 and King’s proclamation in 1929 in the field of economy featured as previously stated by diverse tradition and diverse development stages.
