Özet:

In this study, the position of the Ottoman State, which has been standing for centuries, against the Merkantalism and Industrial Revolution has been discussed. The study first included the development of centralism, which is an important economic doctrine that has hit the mark of a period in Europe. In this context, as a policy concept aimed at increasing valuable mining reserves such as gold and silver by giving excess to foreign trade, it has been revealed that mercantilism is one of the most important stages in the process in which European states become a trade-based national economy. In the end, the economic structure of the Ottoman State was studied during and after the Merkantalism era. In this sense, the Ottoman economy has been seen to have three main scores in this period. These are provisionism, traditionalism and fiscalism. While it means that there is a lot of goods in the market, traditionalism is the motivation to protect the ideal order and the statue in the economy of the Ottoman State. Fiscalism aims to enrich the treasure of the state rather than people. It is understood that in the framework of the three principles of the Ottoman State, the Merkantalism has policies that can be considered unreliable, and in this context it has an attitude that concerns the abundance of goods, promotes imports and restricts exports. In the study, there is an assessment of the causes and consequences of this situation. Finally, the impact of the industrial revolution on the Ottoman state was discussed.

Özet:

In this study; the position of the Ottoman Empire, which survived for centuries, against Mercantilism and Industrial Revolution is discussed. For this purpose, first, the development of mercantilism, an important economic doctrine that had a significant impact on a period in Europe, is explained. In this context, it is revealed that Mercantilism, which forms the basis of capitalism, was one of the most important steps in the process in which European states became a national economy based on trade, as a policy understanding to increase the precious metal reserves such as gold and silver by giving foreign trade surplus. Subsequently, the economic structure of the Ottoman Empire in the age of mercantilism and afterwards is examined. Then, the economic structure of the Ottoman Empire in the age of mercantilism is examined. In this sense, it is seen that the Ottoman economy had three basic trivets in this period. These are: provisionism, traditionalism and fiscalism. While provisionism refers to the abundance of goods in the market, traditionalism is the motive to protect the ideal order and status quo in the economy of the Ottoman State. Fiscalism, on the other hand, aims to enrich the state treasury rather than individuals. It is understood that the Ottoman Empire pursued policies that could be considered as the opposite of Mercantilism within the framework of three principles, and, in this context, the empire had a policy that cared about the abundance of goods, encouraged imports and restricted exports. Evaluations on the reasons and consequences of this situation are also included in the study. Finally, the effects of the Industrial Revolution on the Ottoman Empire are discussed.
