"[...] an oversized bourgeoisie which mimicks the boyars of yesteryear and has an "over-bourgeois" way of living, oversized in comparison with its means, creates a certain social instability and features a high percentage of individual failures.That is why "the Romanian bourgeoisie is not in fact a bourgeoisie in one of its most essential features"; whereas the Occident focuses on "accumulation", "security" and "the future", our bourgeoisie will focus on "spending", "satisfaction" and "the present". Whereas the Western bourgeois work for their children, the Romanian bourgeois will often only work for themselves."
