DEVELOPMENT OF ROMANIAN COMERCE
Abstract
Exchange in nature named by the people barter, in a haggling, an unwritten contract between two parties who give each other one thing for another thing. As a human manifestation, the barter is the ancestor of commerce today that is mediated by money and the most modern techniques. Ethnographic questionnaires completed in 1970 for developing the Romanian Ethnographic Atlas r ecorded it in all the counties. In most localities Carpathian and Subarpathian investigated in the early twentieth century echanged was, wood, wood craft objects, an imals, animal products, fruit, brandy and other products that abound on cereals (wheat , corn, barley, oats, rye) from the Pericarpathian hills lands (plains, low plateaus). In the absence of cash from the medieval period this form of exchange was used by Romanian princes: Ећtefan TomЕџa orderind the Bistri ЕЈeni three m Дѓji (ox carts) of tin for which he will send cattle (exchange in natu re or barter) or m oney, and Alexandru LДѓpuЕџneanu promises the same romanian Bistri ЕЈeni wine for cooking oil and other products, etc. This is why we pursue the manifestation and rules of this interesting phenomenon as an medieval institution and as common law.
