The book "Economic biographical time machine: calendar of economic greats", authored by prof. Dr. Milan R. Milanović, was promoted in the Herzegovina City Library. The publication contains 365 biographies of well-known Serbian, Yugoslav and international economists and economic practitioners.
The author emphasized that this kind of time machine encompasses the development of economic thought so far, from different epochs, up to the time of the actual preparation of the work. As an initial approach and selection criterion, Milanović points out the principle that the biographies of only those economists who are no longer alive are processed.
"From the aspect of the time dimension, this is actually a biographical monument. In terms of the spatial dimension, the time machine includes economists from the Serbian and ex-Yugoslav areas, as well as all others who indisputably left an indelible mark in the development of economic thought in the world, especially in the European, Russian and American areas, Milanović said.
Milanović spoke about several important personalities from Herceg Novi, Boka and Montenegro, informing that the time machine opened with the biography of Žarko Bulajić, a political worker but also a theorist of socialist economics, prime minister and university professor who lived in Herceg Novi. The book also contains the biographies of Savo Starović, the founder of "Jugooceanija", Petar Nagib Sinanović, the founder of "Obod", Milan Šljivić, the long-time mayor of Aleksandrovac, Dimitrije Konjović, a Serbian industrialist, pilot, naval officer, founder of the IKARUS factory, an economic creator who was the commander of the Austro-Hungarian hydrobases. on the Adriatic with the command sector in Kumbor. The biography of Laz M. Kostić, born in Grblje, who wrote numerous journalistic works in the field of national history and economic policy, is also indispensable. From Boka, Vuk Vrčević, Lazar Tomanović, Petar Šerović, Savo Nakićenović deservedly got their place in this time machine, Milanović pointed out.
