The Triumph of Financial Capital
June 1, 1994
The announced subject of this conference is "New Trends in Turkey and the World." I shall not try to say anything about new trends in Turkey, partly because of my ignorance but more importantly because Turkey is very much part of the world, and in this period the mother of all new trends is global in nature. To understand what is happening in any part of the world, one must start from what is happening in the whole world. Never has Hegel's dictum "The Truth is in the Whole" been as true and relevant as it is today.
