In this book, an attempt is made to present arguments and basic interpretations of domestic development dynamics in the most understandable way possible. The empirical, analytical, and interpretive perspectives of the book are not limited to specialized methodological approaches that concern exclusively the scientific and professional field of economists and economic analysts, but also to readers with broader education and related interests. A large part of the conclusions and assessments appears for the first time in the available literature. The reference period covers the entire post-dictatorship experience, from which basic peculiarities of the country's productive and institutional system emerge. Special emphasis is given to differences, cracks or deep cuts, as well as to decisive inconsistencies, of the three defining decades of modern economic history (1990, 2000, and 2010).
