Workers' Self-Management (Yugoslavia)
노동자 자주관리
A distinctive socialist economic model introduced by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia through the 1950 Basic Law on Management of State Economic Enterprises by Workers' Collectives. It entrusted enterprise management to workers' councils rather than state bureaucrats, combining social ownership with market-based allocation to institutionalise a 'third way' between Soviet central planning and Western capitalism. It served as the ideological cornerstone justifying Yugoslavia's break from the Stalinist model after the 1948 Cominform expulsion, was further codified in the 1974 Constitution, and was abolished in 1990 on the eve of the country's dissolution.
