| Summary: | Alexandru D. Xenopol (1847-1920), a leading figure of
the Romanian intellectual tradition of the turn of the century –
academician, economist, philosopher, historian, educator, sociologist
and writer – has remained in the universal cultural memory as a tireless
promoter of the economic empowerment of the Romanian inhabited
territories. Encyclopaedic, visionary and lucid mind, Alexandru D.
Xenopol dedicated his work to searching the elements of the compatibility
of the Romanians with the modernity and globalization in the cultural,
educational and economic history of our people. Alexandru D. Xenopol
has not remain unnoticed; scientists of this country, such as Nicolae
Iorga, paid an homage to his great intellectual value: "educated in the
best traditions of the economic school of the mid nineteenth century, and
above all, a man with a philosophical mind, comfortable with
abstractions and with an endless love for subtle links between them"
(Iorga, 1975, p.190). The purpose of this paper is to highlight the
importance of the spread of economic ideas in shaping the Romanian
economic development stage. |
