Dragan Jovanović (Yugoslav Politician)
Dragan Jovanović ( sr-cyr, Драган Јовановић) was a cabinet minister in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the early 1990s. Private career Jovanović was director of the Serbian Social Accountancy Service in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the time of that country's disintegration. In an interview with Tanjug in July 1991, he remarked that the constituent republics of Yugoslavia, and in particular Slovenia and Croatia, had stopped making mutual payments due to the deteriorating political situation. This, he added, was preventing Serbia from making its payments to those republics. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia reformed its currency in 1992, resulting in a chaotic period of hyperinflation. Jovanović was removed from his position in June 1992 after being blamed for a disastrous shift to the new dinar. He later accused allies of Serbian president Slobodan Milošević of scapegoating him for the situation. Cabinet minister On September 11, 19 ...

Cabinet Minister
A minister is a politician who heads a ministry, making and implementing decisions on policies in conjunction with the other ministers. In some jurisdictions the head of government is also a minister and is designated the ' prime minister', ' premier', 'chief minister', ' chancellor' or other title. In Commonwealth realm jurisdictions which use the Westminster system of government, ministers are usually required to be members of one of the houses of Parliament or legislature, and are usually from the political party that controls a majority in the lower house of the legislature.

Scapegoat
In the Bible, a scapegoat is one of a pair of kid goats that is released into the wilderness, taking with it all sins and impurities, while the other is sacrificed. The concept first appears in the Book of Leviticus, in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert to carry away the sins of the community. Practices with some similarities to the scapegoat ritual also appear in Ancient Greece and Ebla. Origins Some scholars have argued that the scapegoat ritual can be traced back to Ebla around 2400 BC, whence it spread throughout the ancient Near East. Etymology The word "scapegoat" is an English translation of the Hebrew (), which occurs in Leviticus 16:8: The Brown–Driver–Briggs Hebrew Lexicon gives () as a reduplicative intensive of the stem , "remove", hence , "for entire removal". This reading is supported by the Septuagint, Greek Old Testament translation as "the sender away (of sins)". The lexicographer Wilhelm Gesenius, Gesenius takes to mean "averter ...

Hyperinflation
In economics, hyperinflation is a very high and typically accelerating inflation. It quickly erodes the real versus nominal value (economics), real value of the local currency, as the prices of all goods increase. This causes people to minimize their holdings in that currency as they usually switch to more stable foreign currencies. Effective capital controls and currency substitution ("dollarization") are the orthodox solutions to ending short-term hyperinflation; however, there are significant social and economic costs to these policies. Ineffective implementations of these solutions often exacerbate the situation. Many governments choose to attempt to solve structural issues without resorting to those solutions, with the goal of bringing inflation down slowly while minimizing social costs of further economic shocks; however, this can lead to a prolonged period of high inflation. Unlike low inflation, where the process of rising prices is protracted and not generally noticeab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
