Javier Milei did not perform a miracle. He merely did what was necessary. This implies that leadership will be required to do what is necessary. The reason developing countries struggle to become developed is due to leaders often saying, “This is enough,” rather than doing what needs to be done.

Increasing Conflicts and Permanent Crises: There’s no need to provide too much detail, as we are already living through it. There are ongoing conflicts that were expected to end with Trump's arrival, but let’s not forget that issues like Syria will become even more complex. From this perspective, I can say that 2025 will be challenging in terms of hot conflicts and quickly flaring tensions.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of posts on social media saying things like, "Aliens exist, some governments know about it but aren’t revealing anything, and soon everything will come to light."

As I always reiterate, “No matter how large and capable a computer is, if you input incorrect data, it will yield wrong results.” Actually, Stephen Hawking made this statement.

I can't say if mercantilism is making a comeback, but there are a considerable number of people who adopt a trade policy of 'selling a lot and buying little.'

I have been dealing with the issue of inflation since the early years of my academic career. Looking back, I witnessed what Turkey and other developing countries did in the fight against inflation throughout the 1990s.

Perhaps the worst that has happened in developing countries is not just a shortage of intermediate staff, but the employees lacking the knowledge and experience needed to do the job.

Everyone is asking each other: "How did the American people choose Trump?" While the answers to this question are generally similar across countries, I found a particular study on this topic to be extremely successful.

Recently, I gathered with strategy and diplomacy experts ahead of the U.S. elections. As you know, it is said that "where diplomacy ends, war begins." Winston Churchill even reinforced this phrase by stating, “Jaw jaw is better than war war.” In other words, talking is better than fighting.

There used to be a frequently repeated anecdote in Turkey. Although it might have been perceived as a joke, it actually contained a serious truth. It described the differences between Americans, Germans, and Turks.

Alongside current writings, it is essential to sometimes engage in historical studies to correctly understand the causes of what is happening to us today. I do not believe that we will go in the right direction with evaluations disconnected from the past or with an outlook that judges the past through today’s conditions. Therefore, in this week’s article, I wanted to analyze the Cold War period.

The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded this year to three esteemed academics who co-authored the same study. In summary, their work illustrated that geography is not destiny, but rather the philosophy behind the institutions that govern the masses directly impacts development and other factors.

In some countries, due to extremely high inflation, the largest banknote printed has become meaningless, putting central banks under public pressure. Some say, "Big banknotes create inflation," while economists like me argue that "there's no relation, but it could be an admission of the existence of high inflation."

I must tell you that I felt sad when our courtesy visit to Barcelona ended, due to my brother being a grandfather. My niece Alara has been living in Barcelona for 9 years. It is easy to understand why she and her husband have not given up this place. And they are not alone; many people, regardless of which country in the world they come from, do not want to leave Barcelona. Let me illustrate this with a simple example.

Central Banks and Regulatory Authorities take certain steps within the framework of laws and regulations to achieve balanced economic growth while maintaining financial stability. These steps are, by their nature, not simple and clear-cut. It would be better if they were, but I have never seen a clear explanation that a regular citizen could easily understand.
