Atilla Yeşilada video: Daron Acemoglu, Turkey and me

 

I explain Daron Acemoglu’s contribution to the theory of development and apply it to Turkey in Erdogan  era. The first 10 years of his reign witnessed phenomenal growth and institutional development. In the second half, he took away everything his governments accomplished.  Sadly, over the last decade Turkey became a poster country for “Why nations fail?” How and why?  Can Turkey ever enter the Narrow Corridor again?
