Abstract

We focus on two of the leading representatives of the Bulgarian intelligentsia during the late Ottoman Empire, Ivan Bogorov and Georgi Sava Rakovski, who engaged in discussions on economic issues. Each of them believed that the collective national and economic goal of the Bulgarians could be solved within the framework of a certain economic worldview, which seems eclectic and contradictory to the contemporary economist, but consistent and logical when taking into account the era in which the two authors lived and wrote.
