An interesting fact is that the article does not mention that Josip Broz and his fellow communists were committing economic suicide in the 1960's and 70's. Credit where credit is due; the Communist party of Yugoslavia did raise the standard of living in the 1960s and 1970s. This was achieved through Western investment,<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=MO0brh8EgdcC&pg=PR16&dq=Keeping+Tito+Afloat:+The+United+States,+Yugoslavia,+and+the+Cold+War+loans&hl=en&ei=0VB2TPu3GMWrcYbigY8G&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=loans&f=false Keeping Tito Afloat by Lorraine M.

* "Tito Afloat draws upon newly '''declassified documents''' to show the critical role that Yugoslavia played in [[USA|U.S. foreign]] policy with the communist world in the early years of the Cold War. After World War II, the [[United States]] considered Yugoslavia to be a loyal Soviet satellite, but Tito surprised the West in 1948 by breaking with Stalin. Seizing this opportunity, the Truman administration sought to "keep Tito afloat" by giving him military and economic aid."  (p67, p71, p74, p83, p85, p98, p90 & p182)</ref> but it was all a short-term solution. Economic problems started with the inflation crisis in 1978 due mainly to Communist mismanagement.
