Take Ionescu was a proponent of what attitude based on his more traditional beliefs?
Social conservatism Social conservatism (often contrasted with social liberalism) denotes an attitude that tends to favour beliefs seen as traditional in regard to social affairs. This can include moral issues. Social conservatism is generally sceptical of social change, and believes in maintaining the status quo concerning social issues such as family life, sexual relations and patriotism.
Nicolae Xenopol Nicolae Dimitrie Xenopol (] ] , also Nicu Xenopol; Francized "Nicolas Xenopol"; October 11, 1858 – December 1917) was a Romanian politician, diplomat, economist and writer, the younger brother of historian Alexandru Dimitrie Xenopol and, like him, a member of "Junimea" society. Initially inspired by "Junimea" leader Titu Maiorescu, he was later a dissident of "Junimism", a Positivist and a supporter of literary realism. Politically, Xenopol also moved away from conservatism and was embraced by the liberal current, serving as editor of two liberal newspapers: "Românul" and "Voința Națională". He had a successful career in electoral politics, which began within the National Liberal Party and later saw him joining the Conservative-Democratic Party. In 1912, he was Minister of Commerce, and helped create an Academy of Economic Studies.
