Od industrijalaca do kažnjenika: “Gutmann” i “Našička” u industrijalizaciji Slavonije
The book follows the rise and fall of Croatian industrialists who, after political and economic changes, ended up under investigation, indictments, or convictions, analyzing the relationship between business, politics, and the judiciary.
From Industrialists to Convicts by Hrvoje Volner explores the complex relationship between the economy, politics, and the judiciary through stories about Croatian entrepreneurs who marked the period of transition. The book analyzes how individual industrialists went from being symbols of economic success to becoming the subject of criminal investigations, court trials, or final judgments, raising questions of responsibility, privatization, corporate governance, and the functioning of institutions.
The author provides an overview of key cases, placing them in a broader social and historical context, and seeks to explain the circumstances that led to the rise and fall of former business leaders. Instead of simple conclusions, the book encourages the reader to reflect on the boundaries between entrepreneurial risk, political influence, and criminal responsibility.
It is intended for anyone interested in Croatian economic history, transition processes, business ethics, and the functioning of the judicial system. Through a documented account of events and actors, the book provides insight into one of the most dynamic and controversial periods of the contemporary Croatian economy.
