Mircea Vulcănescu. Life and work – facts and achievements

Summary/Abstract: Mircea Vulcănescu was a vivacious spirit, unbound by the narrow confines of a strict specialisation. His specialist culture, whether philosophical, economic, sociological, political or general – as premise and basis for a fruitful inter-human communication at national and international level – is among the exquisite defining features of his personality. It was thanks to these special and universally acknowledged qualities that Mircea Vulcănescu became, at only 24 years of age in 1928, a tenured lecturer at the chair headed by Dimitri Gusti. Subsequently, he was, in turn, Director-General for Customs and Director of the Public Debt Office in the Romanian Finance Ministry, Director of the Autonomous Fund for Financing and Amortisation, President of the Autonomous Fund of National Defence and undersecretary of state in the Ministry of Finance. Such events did not and cannot go unnoticed; they became milestones of his era and his posterity. At various levels and in different proportions, Mircea Vulcănescu generated and inspired new searches and aspirations and decisively became part of the gallery of the great Romanian scholars and patriots, concerned with the past, present and future of Romania.
