The Publicist Ion Vinea’s Literary and Economic Directions

Concerned about the permanent evolution of the Romanian society both from the literary and economical point of view, Ion Vinea remains one of the most ardent supporters of Lovinescian synchronism. His activity as a publicist highlights his forward-looking spirit displayed in the relevantly expressed opinions, which prepared the mentor of the avant-garde Romanian constructivist school, the Director of “Contimporanul”. The pleasure of the attentive observation of the Romanian realities (economic, social, political, literary, etc.) which has its starting point in many collaborations and journalistic achievements, reached the acme of perfection in pamphlets – genuine "x-rays" of Romanian economic context. His ironies, supported by objective observation of the state of affairs of the Romanian economy of the time, were impulses of necessity of economic, cultural, etc. modernization. Thus, through his work, I. Vinea remains, certainly, the promoter of literary and economic trends in the context of the 20th century.
