Miroslava Despot, prva ekonomska povjesničarka Hrvatske

As the author of works of Croatian economic history, Miroslava Despot (b.1912 - d.1995) appeared only in 1949, followed by nearly half a century of writing many valuable works that filled the gaps in the history of economy and culture from 18th century to year 1914. Her main themes were manufactories, plants, printing, the bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac, museums etc. Each of these topics the author processed into many smaller articles whose synthesizing get units that dr. Despot never managed to publish, except for the period from 1860 to 1880. However, her contribution to economic history is immense, and it only needs to be seen and recognized.
