Summary/Abstract: In responding to Mihaela Irimia’s contribution to this issue, this paper wonders about the economic, political and social underpinnings of the history of English Studies in Romania. The kind of bearing that economic factors may have on such histories is illustrated by recalling the case of the establishment of the De Beers chair in the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
