Размисли за българската икономическа мисъл (1878–1915)
Reflections on Bulgarian Economic Thought (1878–1915)

Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian State lived through an all rounded upsurge during the period 1878–1912. Particularly impressive were the achievements in the economic field. From an Ottoman province with established but archaic market relations, Bulgaria was transformed into an agricultural-industrial country, modern from the Balkan conditions. The contribution of economic thought to that was indisputable. Its exponents were not only professors and holders of university diplomas. There were also persons who successfully combined in themselves the scholars with the economic, financial and state figure, as was, for instance, Ivan Evstatiev Geshov. Economic thought in Bulgaria, for reason easy to explain, was chiefly one of applied science. The works covered the all-round state of the Bulgarian economy and all its branches. The Bulgarian Society of Economics with its journal played an important role. The crown of Bulgarian economic thought was Prof. Kiril Popov’s book “Economic Bulgaria” published during the years of the First World War. This was a statistical epic of an economic fear, of Bulgaria’s development and in point of fact of almost everything in life at that time which could be expressed in figures.
