The Ottoman economy was forced into an organic and dynamic transformation through liberal ideas of Western origin from the beginning of the 19th century. It intended to protect the basic principles and values that keep society alive for centuries in this process. On the other hand, traditional institutions and activities were tried to be modernized to adapt to international economic conjuncture. Therefore, the 19th century is known as a process of excellent resistance and change for Ottoman society and institutions. In this context, this study aims to reconsider Westerners’ efforts to channel liberalism to the Turkish economic thought system and its effect. It also aimed to reclassify Ottoman economic thought for the last term and shed light on current research. According to objective research, economic liberalism was not completely internalized in Ottoman society.
