World War II Turkey Volume 2

The Second World War devastated the economies of not only the warring countries but also those who did not enter the war. The transformation of all economies into war economies was a reality of total war. Turkey, which was devastated by the First World War and trying to develop, was extraordinarily affected by this war from which it stood out. In the second volume of their works, Ilhan Tekeli and Selim Ilkin examine the economic side of Turkey's Second World War adventure. The measures taken, the famines experienced, the high cost of living, corruption, queues, consumption restrictions, rationing practices, new regulations in the labor regime... Developments in foreign trade and industrial production... A study that focuses on this special period that left its mark on the following decades of the Turkish economy. examination.

"Turkey remained out of the hot war and continued its commercial relations with both warring parties. Perhaps the most important of the economic consequences of this situation is that Turkey is not a war zone and therefore the infrastructures and industrial establishments created under difficult conditions in the twenty years after the establishment of the Republic. Apart from this, since foreign trade relations with both warring parties have been preserved to a certain extent (...) there will be a certain reduction in the bottlenecks that will arise due to foreign trade, and (...) Turkey's gold stock. "There has been a significant increase."
