Over the last five years, more than a million Turks have left the country, and most of them are highly educated professionals, doctors, engineers, academics, and entrepreneurs. It’s not hard to see why. The economy has been in shambles with inflation skyrocketing, the lira losing value almost daily, and unemployment climbing. But it’s not just the financial struggles driving people away, it’s also the drastic cultural and political shift Turkey has undergone. Two decades ago, Turkey looked like it was moving toward a Euro-Asian cultural identity, leaning into its secular and modern aspirations, even talking about joining the EU. Now? That vision has been abandoned in favor of a more Islamic-oriented and authoritarian approach. Religious conservatism is creeping into everything, education, the judiciary, media, you name it. Meritocracy feels like a thing of the past, replaced by cronyism and ideological loyalty. And yet, despite all of this, nearly half the population continues to support the government. It’s mind-blowing. People are struggling to make ends meet, but they’ll still vote for the same leadership again and again. You can even see it in the comments under this video these diehard supporters have started popping up more and more, even in spaces that cater to English-speaking audiences. The thing is, this isn’t just about the present. What does this mean for Turkey’s future? With so many skilled and educated people leaving, the brain drain alone is a massive problem. Pair that with an ideological shift that moves further away from secularism and cosmopolitanism, and you have a country that’s losing touch with the vision it once had for itself.

[@gametestinglab8861]

Inflation it’s caused by government spending more than it gets in revenue from taxes. Why Turkish government spending more money? Mo dy that doesn’t have so it must print money? May be because Erdogan had megalomaniac dreams? Like being protector of all Muslim world and being Khalid? Interfering in foreign countries? Like financing terrorists coming in power in Syria? Few months ago he came in Tirana to open the grand mosque of Tirana financed with Turkey money. It costed 60 million $. If you’re so deep in shit how he doesn’t have money for his citizens but find money to finance terrorist for coup de eta and ten of millions in mosques? He came in Tirana throwing out of window every state protocol and hospitality telling with arrogance which one we should arrest and handle to him. He brought even an imam from Turkey. Albanian Islamic community takes care of his own affairs and no outside entity has the right to impose on the community and bringing own people from outside. We respect Turkish people and you as country. But this is disrespecting our sovereignty and taking advantage of friendliness. If you keep voting such morons in power don’t be surprised when the moron will drag the whole country in his own lunacy.

[@ztoob8898]

2.2% month-over-month is not 12 * 2.2% (26.4%) annually, but closer to 30%, because it's compounded. The math is 1.022¹², or about 1.298, or 29.8%.

I had planned, “pre-Erdogan” to retire to live in Turkey. On Erdogan being elected, I put my plans on “hold”. However the antics of Erdogan have only become more manic. Erdogan has wiped out the middle-class of Turkey with inflation. The educated and skilled are fleeing Turkey, they won’t go back except for holidays and perhaps when they retire. The embedded fundamentalists in Turkey will drag it into the gutter to rank with other Muslim, non-oil country’s.

[@emrefifty5281]

You wouldn't have wanted to live in the old pre erdogan türkiye, trust me. Even if it’s not going good nowadays, it was horrible back then. No Stability at all, No Infrastructure, No Medical Care, Violence, Terror, Hyperinflation and regular coup‘s which result in military dictatorship. It was incredibly bad. That’s why a lot of people still hold onto Erdogan and because there isn’t a good alternative.

[@anthonyburke5656]

@ Hello emrefifty, that’s puzzled me, the history of military coups in Turkey. What do they teach the Officer Corps? I know Mustapha Kemal Pre-war was a “young Turk” and post war a National hero. But his tradition was a secular state! Ever wonder, what if Mustapha Kemal hadn’t died so young (apparently he drank like a fish, a lot of ex soldiers from WW1 did). I did talk to young people, the ability to hold mutually contradictory ideas was amazing! I’ve never figured out how they think they can grind down the Kurds and build a society? They must know, the Arminians are just waiting for pay back and the Kurds will be their sword if Turkey alienates them enough.

[@otgunz]

@@anthonyburke5656 Emre is totally right. Turkiye was an army run fake parliamenter democracy. This does not mean though it has true democracy now. Erdogan with Gulen got rid of the army for his namesake. And he got rid of Gulen. Then he became the sole power yet since his regime is built on money yet Turkiye doesn't have natural resources (thanks god), he can't bring a Islamofascistic dynasty rule. So he has to count on the vital and fragile alliances. Like a Medieval king from Europe having strange realtionships with his lords. Some lords can be attacked by others and the king but all times they must be balanced to not unite against the king. Turkiye wasn't secure and great, it still isn't. The difference is though, Turkiye lacked strong governance yet had an army that no interior power could touch. This is replaced by Erdogan's close quarters and the mafia and tarikats (Sunni cults, sects). So the bosses changed, game is the same. Meanwhile any British and German from Antalya still enjoys the country. Which makes you altering your plans was pointless. :) Meanwhile your assesments about the Armenians and Kurds is misguided and ilinformed. The genocide done by actual Kurdish tribesmen although it was officialy forced by the Ittihat ve Terakki military Turkish party that couped and ruled Ottoman Empire throughout WW1. Thus Armenians are aware that their people were force marched to Syria by the Ottoman empire and its Turkish majority regime yet the rapes, killings and robbings done by actual Kurds. Thus no, Armenians and Kurds will be fighting each other for the same land if tomorrow Turkish state and army dissappears miraculously. Greeks want the Aegean coasts as usual. East Anatolia will be fought to be shared by Armenians and Kurds, middle Anatolia would be left to ethnic Turks like Gazans in Palestine.

Hej Joe, your analysies is always very interesting, especially for me as I’m not an economist. One thing I don’t undersand is that many economies are i crisis but the stock market isn’t. Which economies/ countries are doing quite well? The only one I can think of is countries that helps rich people to hide their Money from tax.

[@JOSIASE]

Please do an analysis on Denmark. Small economy during "wartime". How does the future look for small economies in the future?

[@a0flj0]

I'm no economist, but my guess is it's got more to do with how well administered the local economy is than with international factors. It's one thing to have a recession like that in Germany, where inflation is stable and under 3%, and a whole different one to have a recession like that of Turkey, with a 47% inflation rate. Things get slightly worse in Germany, that's true, but they're getting massively worse in Turkey. Germany had to tackle some problems that would most likely have bankrupted most other countries - replacing its energy suppliers in a very short time being the most important one - and it did. Predictions were it would take years, but Germany had its first liquefied gas terminal ready in nine months since the war started. In contrast, smaller economies, like Slovakia and Hungary, still haven't done much to break away from Russian oil and gas. They'll be hit much worse when Russian deliveries stop, due to Ukraine not renewing its contracts with Gazprom and Russia's infrastructure falling into disrepair and no longer working due to sanctions. Another example is Switzerland. Switzerland hasn't seen economic YoY GDP growth above 5% since the seventies last century. It has had some years where GDP was shrinking. Nevertheless, there was never any major, visible political or social crisis in Switzerland. Despite occasional economic hardship, Switzerland is typically well administered, and any potential source of problems is dealt with proactively and swiftly, rather than letting small problems unsolved until they become humongous. Countries smart enough to put politicians in place that aren't afraid to make difficult, painful decisions and then supporting those politicians and shouldering the hardship will make it through with relatively little harm. Countries stupid enough to believe promises of phony politicians that hardship can be avoided will get it really bad. But that's just my opinion.

Most countries are inflation freaks that have no idea how to manage their economies. Does this include Europe and America? Yes, most of the time. This is why in most regions of the world the inflation rate is over 10% annually based on the local currency.

It's a valid point. Whenever I hear people scream about the US national debt, I always ask them, which other countries bonds are you going to buy?

[@schurfrelay]

Any country with a sustainable demographic and at least some access (be it by force or diplomacy) to food, water and energy is going to eventually be ok. That could imply a fundamental change to the most elementary structures of those societies (e.g., adopting a conservative or religious rule which tends to result in a very stable demographic such as in Muslim countries), but the show will go on. Can't be said about countries like China, Russia, Germany and some other European countries which will most definitely vanish.

Dear David, Thank you for your response, but as to getting rid of inflation is a simplistic idea. Ideally, a perfect balance with 0 inflation is good but not realistic. Better to keep inflation as low as possible while keeping deflation at bay. New products and better products produce some inflation because people want them and the costs rise. Increased productivity reduces inflation, but there is a limit that can be achieved. Getting rid of inflation causes deflation and probable stagflation. Balance in all things is the best choice most of the time ( rare exceptions, like health care). Shalom.

Inflation is 50 percent, but lira lost 20 percent of its value that means lira gained value because everyone gets higher wages roughly based on inflation. As a result, gdp per capita went from 8 thousand to 15 thousand. Why is no one talking about this? I am curious about this

I was wondering when we reached the 15k, that is why we suddenly jumped to the that level. but purchasing power falling apart day by day.

@GeneRauXxX It happened because inflation is higher than the value loss of TL, which is why going abroad for holiday became cheaper, for example. This is the opposite of what happened between 2018-2022. This is what I see, but I saw no one else talk about this effect

You find the funniest animal clips, Joe!

All episodes are on KZbin, in Turkish, with English subtitles. Sort of, "Game of Thrones, Ottoman Empire." Wonderful historical fiction, compelling storytelling, excellent costumes, settings and character development. The second series is more historically accurate than the first. Very much worth watching. Henry VIII was on the throne when Suleiman became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. so this is a period of history that is familiar to many Westerners, covering a part of the world that is less familiar. Crimea features heavily, especially in the second series. I heartily recommend these two epic dramatic series!

Government overspending and debt are the root cause of many of our ills from the the incessant 'need' to grow (and bearing in mind there is good growth and bad growth - good growth is where everyone get richer because it is driven by productivity gains and value and bad growth is what we are engaged in and that is merely importing people with no consideration of the cost just focusing on GDP growth to hide the over spending and the debt/GDP ratio. They have set up a gigantic ponzi scheme with mass immigration in our case Turkey's debt and overspending they are trying to quell by simply expanding (a bit like the EU tries to do with their crumbling empire). Anyway debt and overspending are the enemy of all that is decent because they drive very stupid thinking and agendas ... which is evident where every you find big government and mass immigration .....

CORRECTION : Manufacturing has never been a core part of the economy in Turkey , assembling is ..

[@1bladerx]

Correction: You are ignorant mr arab or perhaps mr persian. Turkiye has a modern manufacturing base we build ships (military and civillian, subs, missiles, airraft carrier .jets, drones, ew systems, jet engines, helicopers, armored vehicles, radars.....with 70% or higher local content. In the early part of 20th century western world destroyed our industrial base to make Turkiye dependent on them and force Turkiye in to being an agricultural producer rather than a high-value industrial production. Due to western political pressure it took a while to re-establish the manufacturing base which Turkiye has been working on since '74. We exported around $7 billion worth of indusrial goods last year and will keep growing every year! Here is a channel that can inform you of what we produce: www.youtube.com/@turksavunma/videos. I see on YT many Turks who have no idea of our modern industrial base and our technological capabilities.

I would expect that the Turkish people might just seek to immigrate to the EU as they are doing. Turkey and Germany have been close for years since WW1, but that relationship has sailed. So where to go? Maybe just across the border to Bulgaria? During the 2010 and after period, the Greeks took what they could and sold what they could and drove across the border into Bulgaria and bought apartments and started little shops. Anything to begin to bring in cash in a stable currency. The Lev is an unknown currency globally, but it's at least Pegged to the Euro. So I would expect Turks to just try and set up small businesses in Plovdiv and Burgas, little shops selling stuff and just working seven days a week to pay the rents and get some kind of hard dependable cash in their hands.

Joe, GDP is not a serious measure but if we use it, we shall keep in mind that it is a sum of 3 factors: a) growth b) national debt and c) inflation.

It is very easy to show that the US economy is in recession since Corona and even some time before - just ad/substract the spiraling national debt from official GDP data...

[@givemeup22]

great video, but official inflation rates are not true. unofficial sources predict that its around %75 or something like that and the reason is they dont write the actual prices, for example in official side they saying that rent for a month is 6500, but right now all around the turkey rent's are starting from at least 10000 or 12000.
