Constructing Change: A Political Economy of Housing and Electricity Provision in Turkey: Studies in Critical Social Sciences / New Scholarship in Political Economy, cartea 188/06

Autor Ezgi B. Ünsal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iun 2021
In Constructing Change, Ezgi B. Unsal provides a political economy of electricity and housing provision in Turkey. By using the case studies of electricity and housing in Turkey, the book explores how social provision is increasingly commodified across the globe as a defining feature of financialisation. Distinguishing this trend from macroeconomic definitions of financialisation, the book offers a contextual narrative of economic change in Turkey, with undetermined macroeconomic outcomes. It contributes to the literature on the financialisation of social provision and the political economy of Turkey, by confirming the increasing influence of finance on social provision sectors, making them prone to volatility while contributing to their growth at the same time.
