Пътища на индустриализацията: протоиндустриите в Европа и в българските земи (XVIII–XIX в.)
Roads of Industrialization: The Protoindustries in Europe and in the Bulgarian Lands (18th – 19th c.)

Summary/Abstract: Two circles of problems are considered, in the article. In the first part is set forth the theory of protoindustrialization (in its development) and its importance for the investigation of some of the most important economic and demographic processes or modern times. Then an attempt is made to back with arguments the interest in studying the development of protoindustrial forms of production in the Bulgarian lands during the National Revival. In a concise manner is described the present state of the studies of the mass regionally specialized, productions in this country, designed for regular export to distant markets in which emerge different forms and degrees of dependence or the producers on the intermediary merchants. Some initial prospects for the study of the development of protoindustries in these lands both at a macro-level (their degree of distribution and concrete forms in an urban and a rural environment, models of co-existence of the different protoindustrial productions, etc.), and at the micro-level of the household are outlined.
