»NATIONAL PROSPERITY« AND GERMAN ECONOMY 1933-1936

Summary/Abstract: In the period between the two world wars, the Yugoslav public was eager to learn about events taking place in Germany. A special point of interest was German economy to which reference was most often made in the magazine »National Prosperity«. This magazine, published from 1929 to 1941, involved the writing of many public figures and economic, authorities, such as Milorad Nedeljković, Milan Stojadinović, Veselin Masleša, Velimiric Bajlcić (the magazine’s editor in chief and one of the represenatives of foreign companies in Yugoslavia). Germany was given special attention in »National Prosperity« due to the interest of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in developing commercial relations with it. The writing of »National Prosperity« reflected the interest of central Europe, especially aroused following the great crisis, for economic conditions in this highly developed industrial country after 1933. Numerous articles deal with the question of state intervention and the autarchic German economic policy, unemployment and the measures taken by the German government to fight it between 1933 and 1936, German workers and the organization of industry, Hitler’s policy regarding trade unions, measures regulating production and the market, German foreign trade, especially foreign trade between Germany and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (commercial agreement of 2 May, 1934 and others). It is interesting to note the pronounced apolitical orientation of »National Prosperity« in its reports of economic developments in Germany.
