Problemi zemljišne rente u prelaznoj etapi

The author analyzes land rent as an economic category and examines its forms (differential, absolute) and significance during the transition from capitalism to socialism. Bakarić examines how land rent manifested itself under the conditions of collectivization of agriculture, the cooperative system, and state land administration, emphasizing the specifics of the Yugoslav self-management model.

The central theme is the relationship between land productivity, social ownership, and the distribution of surplus value. Bakarić points to the problems of unequal land productivity, different conditions of production, and their impact on income distribution. He emphasizes the need for a more just system that reduces inequalities between farms and regions while maintaining social control over land. He also examines the role of the state in regulating land rent through agricultural policy, rent, and taxation.

The book highlights the challenges of the transition, including bureaucratic obstacles, planning shortcomings, and peasant resistance to collectivization. Bakarić proposes reforms that would reconcile the economic interests of individuals and society while preserving socialist principles.
