Notes
As his wife Florence is fond of recalling, Egon, not a large man physically, in his 70s fought off a Manhattan mugger intent on snatching Florence's purse.
Neuberger wrote a working paper in the early 1970s evaluating the changes in the economic system of Yugoslavia in relation to various political struggles grounded in regional and other differences. That paper drew one of us (Ben-Ner) to study with him, initially to pursue the interplay between economics and politics in Yugoslavia. Neuberger's only published papers on Yugoslavia were a theoretical analysis of worker-managed firms in 1973, with Estelle James, and a more comprehensive work with Ben-Ner analysing the pressures for change in the Yugoslav economic system that was published in the Journal of Comparative Economicsin December of 1990, only months before the formal disintegration of the country.
