Abstract: It is beneficial for a nation to undergo an intensive process of self-knowledge [1]. It is equally desirable that any controversy concerning national identity and the formation of the spiritual character of our people should disappear. Through this process of rediscovery, we may also find explanations for the present condition of our nation. As economists, we are concerned with highlighting one key fact: the collective psychology of our people directly influences its economic action. Romanians display a limited tolerance for social cooperation and tend to favour individual isolation. This occurs to the detriment of the advancement of Romanian society. Something happened in our historical past that disrupted the natural course of an evolution grounded in Western principles. The economic history of Romania ought to be written with greater scholarly attention [12].. The final question concerns the contemporary era. Why does our people today, the Romanians, move more slowly when it comes to the use of money and the development of capitalist-type social relations? Why are Romanians, unlike the populations of other states, relatively indifferent to sound economic action?
