However, SFRY's international fame and situation began to deteriorate in the late 1960s as many non-aligned countries changed governments and became American-aligned, which prevented any chances of forming a third bloc as a bulwark against the Soviet and American imperialists. The SFRY also suffered a heavy blow from the energy crisis due to its reliance on preferable prices of external trade with the USA and the USSR. It was forced to accept IMF loans and structure adjustments of the Yugoslavian economy. This saw the rise of inflation and the rise of the de facto private sector with entrepreneurs, along with the decline of productivity. Even with these reforms, the Yugoslavian economy continued to deteriorate, and so were ethnic tensions. By 1967, the worker-manager ratio in joint stock enterprises of Yugoslavia was as high as 1:20, which was much higher than the average of Socialist Camp countries and close to the level of western European capitalist countries. |

Tito's 1974 Constitution devolved more economic power to the individual nation-states within SFRY. But it failed to improve the situation. [[File:Kardelj.png]] [[National Communism|Edvard Kardelj]] also implemented reforms to centralize the Yugoslavian economy with an increase of state interventions, following the decentralized planning models of [[File:Cball-PRPoland.png]] Poland and [[File:Goulash.png]] [[Market Socialism|Hungary]]. While it did improve the economy slightly, it was not enough to keep it from deteriorating. <ref>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/1942875], Jstor.org.</ref> After Tito's death, Yugoslavia began to erode. With the USSR's decline and the collapse of the Eastern Camp in 1989, SFRY too suffered an economic blowout, which saw the rise of ethnonationalism, such as [[File:Milosevic.png]] [[Ethnonationalism|Slobodan Milošević]]. The Serbian leadership believed in Serbian chauvinism and insisted on the centralization of SFRY to benefit the relatively poor Serbian Socialist Republic, which conflicted with the more liberal opinions of member states, like Slovenia, which supported a confederation. These conflicts eventually collapsed the SFRY and caused a full-blown civil war |

In today's former SFRY countries |
In today's former SFRY countries, Tito is still remembered more or less as a national hero who chased out the influence of totalitarian imperialist dictatorships of both the Nazis and the Soviets and forged an independent path for SFRY. Many people miss multiculturalism, low inequality, free healthcare and education, and genuine workplace democracy in SFRY. Although some also remember the days of oppression under his authoritarian and dictatorial rule and the brutal secret police UDBA's prosecutions of dissents and anti-communists. |
