Summary/Abstract: During the period of the so-called first Bulgarian capitalism (1878–1944) one of the most interesting problems that preoccupies the economists in the country is linked to the perspectives and consequences of the economic and political integration of Bulgaria and the other Balkan or European countries. They approached this issue with a large dose of realism. On the one hand, they are driven by a clear sense of backwardness, limited capacity and resources of the Bulgarian economy, suggesting the inclusion of the country in a larger market, but on the other they are not dramatically affected by the illusions of "civilizational choice" that must be made.
