U suvremenom jugoslavenskom selu već sasvim
dominira novčani dio u ukupnom prihodu pretežno
formiran radom izvan poljoprivrednog gospodarstva.
Razmjenom rada i proizvoda sa globalnim
društvom (gradom) selo se urbanizira, što je
osnova širenja masovne kulture, standardizacije i
unifikacije načina života.
2ivotni standard seoskog stanovništva još uvelike
je, međutim, ovisan o karakteristikama individualne
poljoprivrede, njenog mjesta u ukupnoj privredi
i vrednovanja u društvu. Uz znatne oscilacije u pojedinim
periodima (a koje su u vezi sa promjenama
u globalnom društvu), seosko stanovništvo, a svakako
i poljoprivredno, uspijeva da prati kretanje
životnog standarda gradskog stanovništva, pa da
i smanji, iz ranijih perioda, izrazito velike razlike.
Modernizacija seoskog života više se ispoljava u
ličnoj potrošnji nego li u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji.
Otud bi se moglo govoriti o dominaciji potreba
nad proizvodnjom, šta onda, s jedne strane, doprinosi
konzervaciji proizvodnje (niska produktivnost,
mala specijalizacija iitd.), a s druge strane,
proizvodi kod seoskog stanovništva privid (jer se
na takvoj proizvodnji ne može relativno trajno utemeljiti)
emancipacije kao već dovršene integracije.In the contemporary Yugoslav
village the pecuniary consideration
is a quite dominating factor in
overal income created mostly
through work outside the
agricultural estate. By exchange
of work and produce with the
global society (the town), the
village is becoming urbanised,
which is the basis of the spreading
of culture, standardisation and
unification of life.
The standard of living of the
village population is, however,
still greatly dependent on
characteristics of individual
agriculture, its place within the
economy as a whole, as well as on
the set of values prevalent in the
society. With considerable
fluctuation in certain periods
(related to changes in the global
society) a village population —
particularly the agricultural sector
— succeeds in keeping pace with
the growth in the standards of
living of the urban population,
and even to reduce marked
differences from previous periods.
Modernisation of village life is
expressed more through personal
consumption than through
agricultural production. We could,
therefore, speak of domination of
needs over production, which on the
one hand contributes to
conservation of production (low
productivity, restricted
specialisation, etc.), while on the
other giving the village population
an illusion (since no relatively
permanent foundation can be
established on such production)
of emancipation as an already
completed integration
