The Book of Columns by the Editor-in-Chief of Lider, Miodrag Šajatović, Published

‘When the wind blows, turkeys fly’ is the new title in Lider’s library published in November, containing a collection of selected columns written weekly by the editor-in-chief of Lider, Miodrag Šajatović, under the title ‘Ekonomalije’ since the first issue.

‘Is Croatia in recession? Dismiss the director of Statistics!’, ‘A 40-year concession for the desert is sought (for 4.5 million people)’, ‘Exporting is difficult. But is there a smarter way to raise GDP?’, ‘Entrepreneurs are increasingly taking their own lives. Politicians are spared’ are examples of some of the 135 titles united in the book that offers therapy for the events that marked the exciting decade behind us.

– The unique lesson ‘If all else fails, read the instructions’ is contained in this book, the chapters of which continue to be written regularly every week. And just as morning coffee is a habit that is hard to give up, so is this: how can one not engage in a debate with the author of this column every Thursday? – comments Professor Mladen Vedriš from the Faculty of Law.

The title of this unique chronicle of a dramatic time from 2005 to 2015, marked by a fierce boom, a six-year recession, and a fragile recovery, originates from a column published on May 5, 2006, and refers to an old business saying that denotes a state of euphoria in the capital market when the stocks of bad companies soar, not just the good ones.

‘And it was clear that the wind could not blow with such strength for long. And many turkeys fell to the ground. Only those capable of flying without the wind, on their own strength, remained. And those are the heroes of some of the columns. But thanks to the persistent external borrowing of the state, some ‘turkeys’ are still flying today. The question is only until when,’ writes Miodrag Šajatović.
