In fact, although the society has many more problems besides poverty and poverty, the society is involuntarily locked in the economy.
 
In other words, the society cannot find the opportunity to take its head, which is in such trouble, between its two hands, to think about what is going on around it and to control its surroundings.
 
Could impoverishing the society make it easier to run the country? Because it seems as if it makes the work and administration of the power holders easier by supporting the people who are getting poorer under the name of a monthly amount of aid and keeping them in need. I'm not saying it's definitely like that, but that's how the image is reflected.
 
Do not ask how the country's economy will grow while the society is getting poorer. Because there is no justice in income distribution. While the country's opportunities are flowing to a very small segment, the great majority is left to its own devices, especially the segment that is described as the middle class has disappeared, while a large segment of the society is impoverished, if a minority receives a large segment of society's opportunities, I think this is how impoverishing growth happens.
 
Because if things are not going well in a country, it is possible to set the agenda by playing with numbers. For example, while the increase in exports is reminded to the society at every opportunity, the increase in imports is never mentioned. Because the real growth in the economy is closely related to the import figures as much as the export figures. Because, as long as you cannot manage the country and meet the needs of the country without borrowing from outside, there can be no real growth.
 
Talking about independence in the real sense without economic independence does not fully express the truth. Moreover, until 25 years ago, we as a country were self-sufficient and even exported agricultural products. At this point, we are completely dependent on outside.
 
From sunflower oil to fertilizers and seeds we use in agriculture, we have to buy from outside. In this case, declare as high growth figures as you want, it is not possible to get rid of foreign dependency with words, it is not possible.
 
Especially if the order established in the world, which only serves the benefit of the colonialists and facilitates their work, has made you doomed to US dollars for all your needs from outside, it becomes easier for those who print the dollar to put our country and our people in trouble with some sanctions whenever they want. In this respect, it is necessary to grow by getting richer, not by getting poorer. Beyond that, talking about growth through impoverishment means nothing more than deceiving the society.
 
In addition, if prices are constantly increasing in a country, it means that the production in that country does not meet the needs. In other words, the first condition of growth is an increase in production in every field. The more production increases, the richer the country becomes, the more it grows in real terms. Unless this is provided, the statements made will not be for the expression of the truth, but to deceive the society. Because of this, it is always mentioned that exports increase, while import figures are hidden from the society. That's why getting poorer while growing up means that the majority of the society is impoverished, and only the happy few are doing well. This means that the country cannot be governed and that a large part of it is persecuted.
