Virgil Traian N.
Madgearu (Romanian pronunciation: [vir'd??il ma'd??e?aru]; December 14, 1887 – November 27, 1940) was a Romanian economist, sociologist, and left-wing politician, prominent member and main theorist of the Peasants' Party and of its successor, the National Peasants' Party (PN?).
He had an important activity as an essayist and journalist, being for long a member on the editorial board for the influential Viata Româneasca. Madgearu was a prominent opponent of the National Liberal Party for much of his life, developing an original theory that challenged both Liberal tenets and Marxian economics, proposing measures to enhance the political and economic roles of Romanian peasants.
In his later years, he was involved in anti-fascist causes, and was one of several politicians to be assassinated by the Iron Guard.
