Dear Colleagues,

The Faculty of History, at the University of Veliko Turnovo and the Centre for Economic History Research (CEHR) are kindly inviting you to attend the scientific conference “Markets, Society, Power”, which will be held at the University of Veliko Turnovo between 25th and 26th September 2020.

The topic focuses on the link between markets, society and power. One of the major problems in economic life is the relationship between markets and government. On the one hand, the state / power may and can create favorable conditions for the prosperity of the markets, but on the other hand, the state / power often hinders free trade. Focusing research efforts on this broad problem could shed light on the main trends in Bulgaria’s economic history and explain its successes and failures.
