Abstract:

During the Second World War, approximately one million soldiers were kept under arms because of it, the state increased the need for money, every product which can be provide saving brought under strict supervision and control. At this point, the state was able to be managed, a partial security for the present state and future was established, but a very difficult and distressing period was passed for the vast majority of the people. In this study, during the World War II the effects of the living economical problems on government’s agriculture and subsistence policies in Turkey, also the consequences of the implementation of the political, social and economic life in the form of the future of the reflections are discussed. The Government of Refik Saydam carried out a policy that is interventionist and decisive in economic areas, including the issue of subsistence, but for which saving is prioritized. The Government of Şükrü Saraçoğlu, on the other hand, partially reduced interventionism, but did not change the general nature of previous policies and even increased interventionism in some respects. Despite an army of one million people can be kept ready and after the war could be saved, the urban population has made it relatively easy to create a small group of commercial capital accumulation with unfair gains due to side effects of the subsistence politics, which put the peasantry in serious in trouble. Economic power of this group by reflecting the social and administrative life after 1945 have fed the solid statist-single-party applications, have increased the dissatisfaction of the majority of the population, a previously little-known law, democracy, voting rights, has strengthened its relationship with values such as equality in the state, so new to Turkey, has laid the groundwork for political processes and organizations based on large public segments.
