New Capitalism in Turkey

New Capitalism in Turkey examines the change in the relations between politics, religion and business within the capitalist globalization process, with its reflections on the economic, political and cultural context of business life in Turkey. It deals with how politics affects entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial organizations, the emergence of different capitalist development models adopted by different groups within the business world shaped by these political influences, and the both unifying and polarizing role that religion plays in this environment. This theoretically informative book offers one of the most powerful analyzes of Turkey's political economy. Bugra and Savaskan destroy the myths that self-sufficient "small" entrepreneurs are the backbone of Turkey's success. After reading this book, no one will be able to think about markets and market actors the same way.

University of California, Berkeley, USA This impressive study places Turkey strongly on the map of political economy and comparative politics. It adds surprising aspects to what we know about the relationship between the state, democracy and capitalist development in the age of neoliberalism. At the same time, it brings new explanations to the role of religion in the processes of economic change and class formation in the emerging economies around capitalism.
