Ioan Mihu and Aurel Vlad, Supporters of the Romanian National Cause through the Bunul Econom Magazine (1899 - 1907)

Summary/Abstract: The two patrons of the Romanian people from Transylvania, Ioan Mihu and Aurel Vlad, gathered around them all those who were able to work to build the Romanian people on their own, using this way of publishing an economic newspaper. The economic knowledge, necessary for that moment, when the ideas of association were seen as the only way out of the crisis, was translated into the simple language of the peasant reader, who received guidance on various branches of activity, thus managing to remain independent. The permanent preoccupation of the intellectuals in the area to train the people, so as to reach a proper standard of living, was visible since the appearance of the first Romanian daily published in Orăştie. Achieving a certain level of well-being brought independence from the Hungarian government and, at the same time, gave the possibility to support the struggle for the cultural, political and national emancipation of the Romanians in Transylvania. A true advisor of the entire associative activity, this publication with an economic profile was integrated within the efforts to spread the national economic literature, which aimed at the economic and national emancipation of Romanians, respectively.
