Global Perspectives: Turkey's Economy: What happened, and what next?

In recent years, Turkey has been experiencing one of the highest rates of inflation in the world and faces a range of economic challenges. But how did they get there?

In this next edition of our Global Perspectives series, Professor Simon Goldhill FBA invites Professor Şevket Pamuk FBA to examine Turkey’s economic policies in recent decades, discussing the causes and effects of these policies, whilst setting out potential trajectories for the future.

This event is made possible due to generous support from the S T Lee Fund.
