Crises and reforms were constant in the life of the second Yugoslav state. The reforms opened the issue which should have supposedly been overcome – the so called national question. The reasons for the crises may have lied in the economy, but in reality the causes were political and national. This involved relations between the economically more developed and less developed republics and the question of who would invest in their progress. Thus the 1960s were critical and involved a number of reforms. Besides the federation reform, the 1960s economy reform was essential.

The author focuses on the time when the Yugoslav authorities attempted to imitate the Soviet Stalinist totalitarian model as faithfully as possible. The first stage took place immediately after the takeover of power, while the second stage followed after the beginning of the dispute between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, when the second phase of nationalisation and forced collectivisation took place. The economic policy at that time was subordinated to political measures that were not guided by any economic considerations.

The author examines the standard of living in Yugoslavia/Slovenia in the first period after the Second World War, which was marked by industrialisation. The standard of living reflected the current economic policy, and was part of it. The political and economic conditions in the first post-war decade did not favour any improvement in the standard of living. The reasons for this were ideological, political and, above all, practical. Apart from these, the standard of living in that period was considerably affected and determined by the rift with the Cominform.

The Article presents the reflexions of Andrej Gosar, leading Slovene Christian Socialist on the crisis of contemporary democrary, published in 1926. Gosar distanced himself from the mainstream Catholic views on parliamentary democracy since he maintained that democratic ideas were permanent achievement without any real alternatives, while he reproached the contemporary parliamentarism with reducing the equality of citizens to the political aspect, which led to discrepancy between democratic parliament and the social structure.

The contribution emphasises that the crisis in the 1980s, leading to the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the atteinment of Slovene independane, was not only a result of critical economic situation, but also a deep crisis of the political system lasting for several decades and inteisified by the 1974 Constitution. The Slovene communist leadership, not prepared for deeper changes and rigidly clinging to »Kardelj's system« could not contribute anything in order to solve tensions and problems. Thus in the second half of the 1980s the time of the Yugloslav communism simly ran out.
