Familia Șorecani (I)
Șorecani Family (I)

Summary/Abstract: From the nearly century-long history (from the 1880s to 1970) of coal mining in the Ticu-Aghireș area, the only one of its kind in Cluj County, we focused on the period between 1934 and 1938, four years during which the enterprise, known as "Șorecani Mines," was owned by the brothers Mihail and Grigore Manoilescu. During this time, a project was implemented that went beyond the economic realm, aiming to create a "family" in the nationalist corporatist sense of Mihail Manoilescu's vision—an ethnically, socially, and culturally united community. In the first part, we explored the historical and economic context of the coal exploitation at Șorecani and Mihail Manoilescu's contribution to changing the operational paradigm of the enterprise.
