The Turkish-Islamic Bourgeoisie: Origins and Consequences

Více o knize

The emergence of an Islamic bourgeoisie in Turkey, spurred by neoliberal economic policies in the 1980s, has profoundly altered the nation’s social and economic landscape. This shift has facilitated the rise of Islamic entrepreneurs who financially support Islamic groups, driving the Islamization of society. As these groups integrate into the global market, traditional Islamic values are transformed, giving rise to new values that align with neoliberal globalization. The interplay between economic liberalization and Islamic identity has reshaped Turkey's cultural dynamics.
