INTRODUCTION Dear Readers, We are very pleased to present the tenth Household Survey Report in Montenegro. In this volume we present a standard analysis of specific problems like: customs procedure, grey economy, sustainable tourism in Montenegro, links between poverty and environment, information society development, electricity issues, health, quality management, etc. Essays were also prepared, which, in our opinion, stimulate thinking. Focus of the essays is on the state and its role in the economy and concept of economic freedom. A chapter from Amartya Sen’s book Development as Freedom was reprinted, as well as the article about welfare state written by Ludvig von Mises and titled “The Agony of the Welfare State”. The third article is written by Frederic Bastiat and well known as “A petition from the Manufacturers of candles, Tapers, Lanterns, sticks, Street Lamps, Snuffers, and Extinquishers, and from producers of Tallow, Oil, Resin, Alcohol, and Generally of Everything Connected with Ligthening” which puts an interesting and funny light on state interventionism. The report in front of you is one more concrete contribution of ISSP in the elimination of the arbitrary evaluation of socio-economical indicators. Our task is to improve problem understanding, and never use acute criticism. Through collecting, processing and analyzing the data on households in Montenegro in last more then three years, the ISSP has provided a clearer understanding of the socio-economic situation in Montenegro. We believe that we can achieve more and that quality can be improved. By doing this, we will be in a position to better understand the problems we face. Staying on the surface will not help. If you have comments or suggestions, feel free to contact us. Our aim still remains the same: continuous quality
