This book is about the Americanization of Yugoslav culture and everyday life during the nineteen-sixties. After falling out with the Eastern bloc, Tito turned to the United States for support and inspiration. In the political sphere the distance between the two countries was carefully maintained, yet in the realms of culture and consumption the Yugoslav regime was definitely much more receptive to the American model. For Titoist Yugoslavia this tactic turned out to be beneficial, stabilising the regime internally and providing an image of openness in foreign policy. Coca-Cola Socialism addresses the link between cultural diplomacy, culture, consumer society and politics. Its main argument is that both culture and everyday life modelled on the American way were a major source of legitimacy for the Yugoslav Communist Party, and a powerful weapon for both USA and Yugoslavia in the Cold War battle for hearts and minds. Radina Vučetić explores how the Party used American culture in order to promote its own values and what life in this socialist and capitalist hybrid system looked like for ordinary people who lived in a country with communist ideology in a capitalist wrapping. Her book offers a careful reevaluation of the limits of appropriating the American dream and questions both an uncritical celebration of Yugoslavia’s openness and an exaggerated depiction of its authoritarianism.

Excerpt from Applied Socialism: A Study of the Application Cation of Principles to the State During the winter of 1908-1909, by invitation of my Colleagues of the Board of Directors of the Rand School of Social Science, New York City, I delivered two courses of lectures to a large number of students in that institution. The first course consisted of twelve lectures devoted to an exposition of the elements of Socialism and covered substantially the same ground as that covered by my Socialism, a Summary and Interpretation of Socialist Principles. The second course consisted of fourteen lectures, the substance of which is reproduced in the following pages, largely in response to the earnest solicitation of many of the students who attended the course. When my colleagues asked me to deliver this course of lectures on Applied Socialism, they understood that I would not undertake to build a new Utopia, to invent a perfect social system, or, as Marx would scornfully say, to "write the kitchen recipes of the future."

In this text, Roemer proposes a new future of socialism based on a redefinition of market socialism. The Achille's heel of socialism has always been maintaining innovation and efficiency in an economy in which income is equally distributed. Roemer points out that large capitalist firms have already solved a similar problem: in those firms, profits are distributed to numerous shareholders, yet they continue to innovate and compete. The author argues for a modified version of socialism, not necessarily based on public ownership, but founded on equality of opportunity and political influence.
