Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the remarkable personality and scientific work of professor and researcher Costin Murgescu. „The Development of Economic Ideas among the Romanians” is Costin Murgescu’s main work, his important contribution to Romanian Economic Science, which, according to his own confessions is a „vertical approach” of the fundaments of the patrimony of the nationaleconomic-social thought, but – we would say – it is based on facts occurring horizontally. Costin Murgescu treated Economic History, understood as a frontier discipline, in an overarching manner, as partof the History of National Economy and the History of Economic Thought. In our opinion, Costin Murgescu’s perspective on the history of Romanian economy is directed towards the present, as he has an understanding of the past from the perspective of its significance for the present day.
