Summary/Abstract: The article traces back the trends in the economic discourse about Europe in Bulgaria in late 19th and early 20th centuries. The debates included the West in general as a synonym for superiority, prosperity, and advancement as well as particular countries with their peculiarities or branches of economics. Represented are the main Bulgarian and foreign (translated) authors, different types of media and issues such as the role of foreign capital, European fashion as a threat to national wealth, the problems of traditional native artisanship, challenges for Bulgarian agriculture. The economic discourse about Europe in Bulgaria is regarded in its cognitive functions in a country under unfavorable historical conditions and as a self-reflection.
