Abstract:
The proposed paper is based on the mercantile letters sent from and to Dimiter, Petar and Aleko Krastich from the town of Svishtov during the 1850-s and 1860-s. The main aim is to reveal important details related to the economic crisis in Ottoman Bulgaria on the eve, and especially during and after the Crimean War (1853-1856). On the other hand, it is interesting to reveal the measures/strategies of the Bulgarian entrepreneurs (in particular Krastich brothers) to overcome the negative tendencies in the economic life of the Ottoman Empire. Such case-studies may give us additional clues about the essence of entrepreneurship during the Bulgarian National Revival period.
