A select look into some of the flaws of Yugoslavia's worker self-management enterprises and their failed privatization
There exist few other topics that are still subject of such hard felt emotions and bitterness towards politicians in the countries of the former Yugoslavia as the fact that there are still thousands of factories rotting throughout the region and are being sold off in secret auctions for no more than the mere value of the land they are sitting on. Literally nobody is willing to accept the reality that all that supposed wealth which generations of people built during the previous regime has in the past two decades been meeting this kind of inglorious end. “We already have so many factories, if politicians would only open them for business, we'd all be employed,” people would often say.

There is disgraceful "agreement" which "your country"and your culture will offer you. In so much that they'll provide a substitute for self-esteem, self-interest for replacement of your authenticity and self-realization.
How can we protect free enterprise? Will the intellectuals help us? How about the businessmen? There is a dramatic difference between saying you are pro-business and saying you are pro-free enterprise or pro-capitalism. Do you want lots of competition for yourself or do you want special treatment while everyone else faces competition? Milton Friedman explains the difference.
Kako možemo da zaštitimo slobodno preduzetništvo? Da li će nam u tome pomoći intelektualci? A preduzetnici? Postoji dramatična razlika između toga kada kažemo da smo pro-biznis i da smo za slobodno preduzetništvo - odnosno kapitalizam. Da li želimo puno konkurencije za sebe, ili želimo poseban tretman dok se svi ostali suočavaju sa konkurencijom? Milton Friedman objašnjava razlike.
Što manje države to bolje! Da tržište može ponuditi rješenje za sve probleme pokazuje primjer tvrtke Rexlegis, prvog domaćeg privatnog suda u Republici Hrvatskoj, gdje se arbitražne odluke donose u roku od mjesec dana.
O sudištu:
Rexlegis je brža, kvalitetnija i povoljnija alternativa parničnim postupcima pred državnim sudovima. Privatno sudište Rexlegis osnovano je kao odgovor na evidentnu nemogućnost pravosudnih tijela da postupke rješavaju u razumnom roku, te iznimno visoke troškove ostvarivanja zaštite prava pred državnim sudovima.
"A businessman cannot force you to buy his product; if he makes a mistake, he suffers the consequences; if he fails, he takes the loss. A bureaucrat forces you to obey his decisions, whether you agree with him or not ... If he makes a mistake, you suffer the consequences; if he fails, he passes the loss on to you, in the form of heavier taxes." - Ayn Rand
"Biznismen vas ne može natjerati da kupite njegov proizvod; ako pogriješi, on trpi posljedice; ako on nije uspješan, on ima gubitak. Birokrata vas tjera da poštujete njegove odluke, bez obzira da li se slažete sa njima ili ne ... Ako on pogriješi, vi snosite posljedice; ako je on neuspješan, on gubitak prenosi na vas, u obliku viših poreza." - Ayn Rand
