Why Turkey's Economy Keeps Collapsing
Turkey was supposed to be different. In the early 2000s, Turkey was held up as a model — a Muslim-majority democracy with a booming economy, a bridge between East and West, a candidate for European Union membership. From 2003 to 2013, Turkey's economy grew over 5% per year. Foreign investment poured in. The "Turkish model" was celebrated globally.
Then everything collapsed. Today, the Turkish lira has lost over 90% of its value since 2008. Inflation exceeds 80%. Turkish citizens have watched their savings evaporate. And the architect of both the boom and the catastrophic collapse is the same man: Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In this economic history deep dive, we expose why Turkey's economy keeps collapsing despite having enormous potential — and how one man's economic delusions and authoritarian grip have destroyed what could have been a success story.
This is The Wealth Records — where economic history, authoritarian economics, currency collapses, and the dangers of one-man rule collide. And nothing is ever as simple as it looks.
