The environment in which the market economy operates has a significant impact on the economic performance. The democratic political system has the potential to create favorable conditions both for the functioning of the market economy and for entrepreneurial activity. At present, the development of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial culture are among the main priorities of the European Union. In connection with this, the authors aim to examine the extent to which in Bulgaria there are factors that favor the development and promotion of entrepreneurial culture in the society, to identify the challenges and to formulate recommendations for optimizing the environment.
