Summary/Abstract: The analysis of any economic problem, particularly in critical situations, entails the risk of concentrating on isolated issues. This is evident in the treatment of a series of our economic problems. For example, the quantitative rise in exports, in response to the requirement of the current economic situation, is not due to a change in the pattern of production and to the implementation of new development programmes but is a result of a reduction of imports and domestic consumption. The slogan "export or perish" has led to the decline rather than to the revitalisation of the Yugoslav economy, a state that has been directly beneficial to foreign partners on the world markets. Moreover, the decreasing share of investments in the social product directly threatens the rise of production, and consequently also of exports as well as of employment. The abolition of state coercion in economic life necessitates a concentration and centralisation of means of production — an imperative of any modern economy — in conformance to economic laws. Instead of this, state coercion has been reintroduced In the form of decentralized statism, which is undermining the integral process of social reproduction and the economic system. This is, moreover, against all constitutional and legal provisions. The discordance between legal regulations and reality is illustrated on the example of the banking system.
