Any American concerned about fair labor standards and unfair trade practices should keep this in mind before considering purchase of a Yugo car given this grass exploitation. Moreover. the Communist dictators of Yugoslavia share another common feature with Ceaucescuthey are hopelessly corrupt. While Ceaucescu sells human beings who want to emigrate. the Communist officials in Yugoslavia who are running state enterprises have fraudulently issued promissory notes to the tune of at least $2 billion for their own personal gain. At the same time. what had been the most prosperous and productive country in the Balkan region prior to World War II has been transformed by the Communists since WWII into a terminal economic patient kept alive through such U.S. life support systems as commercial and multinational lending institutions and preferential access to U.S. markets. Yugoslavias outstanding world debt is pushing $19 billion. their inflation rate is well over 100 percent. and their unemployment stands at almost 17 percent.
