  There have been numerous publications in recent years dealing with the various effects of the CAP on holdings in the EU countries.

In the Republic of Bulgaria, however, there are not comprehensive assessments of the actual effects of the implementation of CAP on agricultural holdings as a whole and on agricultural holdings of different types. This article presents the results of a comprehensive survey of CAP’s impact on incomes, efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of agricultural holdings of different legal types, sizes, specialization and geographical location. The approach of the study and the system of criteria and indicators for assessment are presented in details in a previous publication of the authors . In order to assess the effects of the CAP, the authors used formal data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the National Statistical Institute and other sources, primary data of surveys of farm managers and expertise of leading experts in the given sphere.

  The Factors of Economic Growth from a Classical Perspective

The problems of economic growth have been increasingly taken into account over the last decades, which brings to the fore the issue of the factors that determine it. The dynamics of contemporary economic development requires detailed knowledge and thorough study of this complex set of elements. Over the years they have highly evolved and changed the concept of generating growth. The beginning, however, was set long ago in the past. This study examines the factors of growth from the point of view of the classical economic theory. The analysis starts with the ideas of W. Petty and the determinants worked out by him – labour and land; it continues with Fr. Quesnay’s views on the power of nature and the crucial role of agriculture; it identifies the main causes of the wealth of nations according to A. Smith with an emphasis on labour productivity; it emphasizes the dynamic changes in the factors according to J. S. Mill; it justifies their triune structure according to J. B. Say and outlines some obstacles to growth according to T. Malthus.

The study analyzes interactionist perspectives, combining different approaches, models, and theories about understanding the multiaspect, multifactor and holistic (comprehensive) nature of human behaviour in organisations and management. It also suggests baseline theses about: substantiation of complex research approaches; intersection of paradigmatic lines of different behaviour sciences, concepts, methodologies, and correlations which establish prerequisites for empirical and applied “translation” for acquiring new knowledge, values, and behaviour to encourage human development, strategic and global thinking, human capital and management of talents
