Băncile populare săteşti din judeţul bacău la începutul secolului al XX-lea
The popular village banks in Bacău County at the beginning of the XXth Century

Summary/Abstract: An important role in the economic and social development of Romania, at the beginning of the XXth Century, had the popular village banks, which aimed to improve the situation of the peasants through access to cheap loans, the removal of the usury and the learning of the economy. Together with cultural circles, popular libraries, adult schools and school gardens, all of them represent a component part of S. Haret’s school policy, which aimed at raising the village through extra-curricular activity of teachers. This study presents the beginnings of the cooperative movement in Bacău, insisting on the role of teachers who, like apostles, through useful advices, viable solutions and personal example, have removed the old mentalities and formed a solid economic thinking in rural areas.
