INTERACTIVE - Who is to blame for Turkey's fragile economy?

When we are fighting against this destruction today, we need to build a comprehensive and strong resistance against the capital. It would not be possible to build it without mentioning planning, nationalisation, rejecting the liabilities of the capital and external debt, building an economy considering the "national scale". Can an "intermediary program" be a realistic base to rely on for those who dream of a "tamed capitalism" for Turkey?

The weakening trend of Turkish lira against the US dollar and euro has been the biggest indicator of Turkey’s fragile economy. Country’s high inflation and current account deficit, as well as an escalation in its geopolitical risks, have played a key role in pushing down the lira’s value.

The AKP government, in this process, have acted before the public as if nothing serious is happening.

With the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections, the most influential opposition parties and leaders are talking about an economic restoration but have no concrete programs about how to implement economic reforms.

The bourgeois order is not able to generate a solid reform because the crisis is structural rather than being a result of the government’s lack of knowledge in economic theory.
