Making a Consensus between Economics Sciences and Islamic Ethic in Turkey

Abstract

Many economists in Turkey think that economic thought and national values should come together. According to Sabri Ulgener, economic models which internalize national values are more realistic and healthy. He thinks that development solutions which are inspired from our national culture and value system will be more successful. Besides, Ulgener thinks that economy and society should unify. This unification can be realized by only with a model which is suitable for our citizens and country. According to him, every country would find his way for independence by itself but, it must be realized according to its local conditions. Therefore in this study, it is advised that we have to make a consensus between economic thought and Islamic Ethic in Turkey to avoid social problems which are arising from fast liberalization.
