Summary/Abstract: The entire economic policy practiced by the Romanian Workers’ Party / Romanian Communist Party between 1948 and 1989 is treated with indifference at present, historians relegating this topic to a secondary plane. In spite of this, the economic strategies, their application and results must be known in order to understand the entire social, cultural and material complexity of Communism. Our study approaches one of the aspects of this issue, precisely the financial policies practised by the leaders of Romania during Communism. The impact of these policies is massive, both on the internal social environment and on the foreign relations of Romania, with the western world especially.
