What the paper says
Abstract Although most countries today have a capitalist economic system, people's views on capitalism and its features differ. This study aims to assess Turkish people's views on the market mechanism, wealth, and capitalism in general. Face‐to‐face interviews were conducted with 2011 respondents in 28 Turkish cities in 2024. The survey results show that Turkish people's views on the market mechanism, wealth, and capitalism in general are not positive. These views do not differ systematically by gender, age, education or income. The study also suggests that these attitudes may be related to the fact that the state has played an important role in Turkey's economy since its inception and has become more active since 2010.
