In this very complex context of globalization and European integration, Romania is facing a very sensitive problem: we need to find the best way to define ourselves, to find our genuine values and to send a clear message to the world. If we search our history we will find that, even though Romanians proved to be less inventively or too moderate on economic issues, there are some important Romanian economists. One of them, almost forgotten by the historians and scholars, is Bogdan Petriceicu-Haşdeu who tried hard to familiarize the public with the sense of occidental economic thought and, thus, promoting the surpass of people’s economic ignorance. His desire to spread economic ideas was his guiding light and his economic writings, backed up by a substantial theoretical background, tackles the numerous economic issues. Analyzing Bogdan Petriceicu-Haşdeu economic writings is a very good way to find Romanian real values.
