Abstract

The article is focused on the industrial development of Bulgaria from the end of the XIX to the middle of the XX century in the context of Alexander Gershenkron's theory of industrialization of economically backward countries and the advantages of this. The main idea of the author is interpreting the industrialization of the Bulgarian economy during the period and the transition from pre-industrial to industrial economy, which is different from the still luxuriously dominant Marxist thesis in historiography. This would give a different perspective on the Bulgarian economic history, but not only.
