The Misak-i İktisadî (Economic Pact) and Second Century of the Republic of Türkiye

The Misak-ı İktisadî (Economic Pact) and the Second Century of the Republic of Türkiye examines the legacy of the Izmir Economic Congress—one of the most critical turning points in Türkiye's economic thought—from the perspective of the Republic's second century.
The book analyzes the transformation of the Turkish economy over the past century through multiple dimensions. It explores early efforts toward economic independence during the foundation of the Republic, highlighting the historical evolution of state, market, and capital relations. It further evaluates Türkiye's economic and social transformation, industrialization process, and development strategies, with particular attention to the impact of technological change and digitalization on growth.
In addition, the volume addresses tax reforms, long-term economic fluctuations, and structural transformations within a historical and theoretical framework. It also examines labour relations and changes in working life in the context of the centenary of the Izmir Economic Congress. By linking past experiences with future challenges, the book offers a comprehensive perspective on Türkiye's economic trajectory.
