- Abstract
This article aims to handle social stratification structure and social classes between 1923-1960 in Turkey. The Turkish Republic, which is the historical and cultural inheritor of The Ottoman Empire, also took over its human factors, social structure and resources. This text reveals information about and studies and classification efforts of some of the philosophers who state opinions on social stratification structure and social classes of Turkey. In The Turkish Republic, founded by military and civil bureaucracy, there is a fact about the dominance of officials beyond their numerical status. The ideal of creating "national bourgeoisie" and "local rich", which has been discussed since the last years of the Ottoman Empire and carried into application, is deeply felt in the discussed periods including foundation years of The Republic. Turkey, whose nearly 80% of population lived in countryside and villages in its foundation years, has an agricultural community character. During the years in which there is serious majority of landlessness, the percentage of farmer families who had fifty or less acres of land was up to 80%. It is possible to characterize the years between 1923-1929 as "liberal economic era", the years between 1929-1945 as "economic statism" and 1950 and the following years as "liberal economic era" as well. Since the 1950s, it has been seen that industrialists, employers and workers have improved and laws and practices about them have come into question.
