Ideas of Political Economy in the Work of Dimitrie Cantemir

Summary/Abstract: Without exposing a coherent economic theory, Dimitrie Cantemir makes numerous remarks in his work, that are suggesting the existence of a certain attitude regarding the economic policy. The relationship between the nature of the governance system and the economic prosperity is presented when the erudite scholar is describing the political leadership of Moldavia. In his book called „The description of Moldavia”, a special value can be attributed to the taxation of medieval Moldavia and also to the presentation of the economic activities from this specific period of time.
