Description:
The unraveling of combined crises our societies are presently in will in the coming years put enormous pressures on public budgets. For this reason, there is an urgent need to rethink the nature as well as greatly develop the standard toolkit of fiscal policy. This article looks at one of the possibilities. It critically revisits the history of individual contributions (“samodoprinosi”), a unique democratic fiscal policy used extensively in socialist Yugoslavia for various infrastructure and social purposes. The study discusses how such a policy might be applied in the present conditions.
