Description
Summary:Ștefan Zeletin is considered to be one of the greatest Romanian scholars in the interwar period. Interested in sociology, philosophy and economics, Zeletin built an ideatic universe which is difficult to define and place from an ideological point of view. Using sociological analysis, Zeletin looked into the origins of Romanian capitalism. The fact that his analysis seems so contemporary springs from putting it into context. In his times, the influence of the developed countries upon the Romanian society unfolded on the basis of the economic, social and political disparities unmistakably working against Romania. Nowadays the situation is relatively similar if we compare Romania’s level of development to that of most countries in the European Union. Moreover, the discrepancy between the economic changes in Zeletin’s time and the mentality of the majority of the population back then corresponds to the moral and social crisis which is currently affecting the Romanian society.
