Prof. Dr. Ahmet H. Kepekçi addresses the deadlocks of capitalist and socialist systems, evaluating the balance between production and consumption and income distribution inequalities within the axis of the National Economy Model.
Production and Capitalism Debates
The origins of capitalism and production relations for the market are handled in different forms throughout historical processes.
Although global production capacity has increased, income distribution and poverty problems maintain their place on the agenda.
Consumption Gap and Purchasing Power
The inability to create the purchasing power to buy the produced goods and services gives rise to the fundamental consumption gap problem.
When the income entering the market is not enough to buy all that is produced, businesses and producers experience difficulties.
Socialism and Alternative Quests
Socialism has advocated the public ownership of the means of production against capital inequality.
The limits of individual enterprise in central planning practices have been a major subject of debate.
The National Economy Model and the Role of the State
Haydar Baş's model does not abolish private property while also not leaving the consumer to the mercy of the market.
The social state understanding is tasked with observing the balance between the producer and the consumer.
Historical Process and Economic Independence
The Committee of Union and Progress period and the Atatürk period were shaped by economic independence steps.
While Zafer Toprak's account of the National Economy history is a transformation, the National Economy Model offers current solutions.
