Dependency and Growth in the Ottoman Economy

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

In Ottoman history, the 19th century has a special importance in terms of integration with the world economy. Trade and foreign capital investments have drawn the Ottoman economy into the sphere of influence of European capitalism since the 1820s. The economic structures that the Republic of Turkey would take over emerged during this period. Prof., one of the leading names in Ottoman-Turkish economic historiography. Dr. In this study, Şevket Pamuk discusses the relations of the Ottoman economy with world capitalism in the 19th century and the consequences of these relations in the field of production. Pamuk, who examines radical economic transformations within a framework that devotes extensive space to quantitative methods, emphasizes that the dominant trends in the opening-up process are not stagnation with increasing dependency, but structural transformations and economic growth. After its first publication in 1984, Dependency and Growth in the Ottoman Economy, 1820-1913 was published by Cambridge University Press in 1987 (The Ottoman Empire and European Capitalism, 1820-1913) and started an important debate in the field of Ottoman economic history.
