Monumentul de for public în viziunea finanţistului Eugeniu Carada
The Monument of Public Forum in the Vision of the Financier Eugeniu Carada

Summary/Abstract: The study presents succintly the professional education of Eugeniu Carada and the means of participation to the events that integrated Romania on the road of advancement as a modern state. There are relevant the preoccupations that required its contribution to the promotion to the public forum of some symbols of honoring the predecessors, which, through their thoughts and actions, have been part of the great events that define the agitated road of lasting in our millenary ancestral dwelling. These kinds of achievement often involved funds exceeding the possibilities of the initiating committees which he was part of. The discretion that constantly characterized his conduct leads him – in this kind of situations – to award substantial pecuniary contributions that miraculously balance revenues and expenditures caused by achieving the respective monument. It was a significant conduct for the time of the crossroad between the 19th and the 20th centuries, his gesture becoming guidance for other many financiers. We consider imperiously necessary the evocation of these acts of the brilliant predecessor in the current times when it was, hopefully, overcome the formula that the state must allocate the funds and must bring, no matter how, in the public forum what the “people of the momentum” deem to be appropriate, without consulting with the public opinion as well. Unfortunately, even in the area of the monument of the public forum the necessary changes were not able to find yet their guiding road, generator of good. Therefore, it tarries, so we would not say that it is missing completely, the manifestation of each one's respect for this kind of symbol, generator of a protective conduct regarding the monument of public forum. It is the time for each one to understand that through the amount invested they become actual shareholders with their afferent rights and duties. The unfortunate experience of often caricaturing the public forum in the past decades imposes this behavioral mutation. Eugeniu Carada, through his thoughts and actions, may be a good guide to us. It is also the time for remembering that the inherited monuments incorporate the investments of our predecessors and, thus, to pay our respect to them it is a conclusive manner of expressing their honoring.
