Abstract

The paper outlines some of the main characteristic features of Bulgarian social and economic thought during the period, dominated by the norms of Orthodox Christianity. In the context of this thinking of the period before the appearance of specialized economic knowledge, several key elements can be identified, such as first, the strong role of the state, relied upon to help solving economic and social problems, which is praised and receives advice from intellectuals, and second, the ethical approach, expressed in the desire to help the poor and to reject profits, considered as immoral (theft, usury, etc. in.), to negate the extremes of poverty, but also of wealth.
