They can be discovered as crisscrossing in the pages of three periodicals. Published over the year 1923, from January to November – and significantly focused on debating the preparation and reverberations of the constitutional revision adopted in the same year, in March –, the journal “Dreptatea socială” was underlined by a “liberal socialist” vision that sociologist Dumitru Drăghicescu (acting as a director) offered as an elaboration of his broader social philosophy shaped at the interplay between the European social-democratic tradition and his core Durkheimian ideas. This view is much too easy to be mistaken for the one that it (strangely) cohabitates with in the pages of the same journal: the argumentation in favor of enhancing the interventionist cast of the local mainstream liberalism advanced by Ştefan Zeletin, in conjunction with his open acknowledgement of the oligarchic and bureaucratic nature of the policies customarily employed by the National Liberal Party as a privileged driving force of modernizing social change. Between January 1933 and December 1937 – and decreasingly so over the following years, up to December 1940 –, the journal “Libertatea economică, politică, socială, culturală” (headed by economist George Strat as a chief-editor and by industrialist Ion Gigurtu as a director) advanced a vision of free trade liberalism in stark opposition to the same mainstream and deeply entrenched interventionist wisdom in the course of being strengthened by the rising authoritarian ideologies of the Left and the Right. The few statements that Drăghicescu gave here spelled out his disagreements with the unqualified individualist philosophy of the journal, nevertheless maintaining a line markedly different from the Zeletinian one. In its turn, “Libertatea”’s stance – prodigiously served by journalist Ştefan Antim (with a legal training) and occasionally also by the elder H. Sanielevici (an influential, although always marginalized figure of literary criticism as well as of broader topics of journalistic interest) – was anticipated by that of another periodical: “Curentul nou,” with Sanielevici as a director and issued first in 1905– 1906, and then again
