The work entitled “İktisatta İnkılâp: İstihlâk Teâvün Şirketleri” (“Revolution in Economics: Companies of Consumption Deposits”) written by Ahmet Cevat Emre in 1913 is the first book written in the field of cooperatives in Turkey. The starting point of this work was the negative socio-economic conditions of the country. Especially after the Balkan War, many Ottoman intellectuals have focused on the problem of foreign domination over the country’s economy. The first idea that came to mind here was to increase the power of the Muslim community in economic life. However, in front of this ideal; there were some formidable obstacles such as lack of capital, lack of commercial knowledge and experience. Ahmet Cevat, one of the important writers of the era, believed that all these problems could be overcome through the cooperatives. From this point of view, he prepared his work called “Revolution in Economics” by conducting on-site research about cooperatives in the UK and Switzerland, as well. In this book, he gave extensive information about consumer cooperatives and showed, in detail, how these cooperatives would be put into practice in the country. His main purpose here was to encourage the establishment of consumer cooperatives in the form of shopping stores among the public. According to his hypothesis, it would be possible to bring the country to a national economic structure by dominating trade and production over time, thanks to these cooperatives. The book “Revolution in Economics”, which was written with these thoughts in mind, has been described as the “only way of salvation for Muslims” in the advertisements published in the newspaper “İkdâm” at that time. In this study; the historical context of the “Revolution in Economics” was emphasized, the scope of the information it provided and the ideas it put forward were examined, and its value in the Turkish Cooperative Movement literature was tried to be determined.
