Abstract

he introduction of the modern economic thought into the Ottoman ideal life has occured in 19th century. The increasing number of the publications about economics after the year 1850, was a sign of the expansion of the economic thought. In this ideal area, Mehmet Tahir Münif Paşa had published a tractate in an issue of Mecmûa-i Fünûn about basic economics, named İlm-i Tedbîr-i Memleket and consisting of 40 pages. The tractate, which has been dominated by the liberal economic thought, had been published as an attachment of the magazine. It can be accepted as an indication for Münif Paşas aim of publicizing the science of economics that he had written İlm-i Tedbîr-i Memleket as a dialog consisting of questions and answers, in a simple wording. The economics book named İlm-i Servet which consisted of Münif Paşas lecture documents at the Law School, had published nineteen years after the tractate. İlm-i Servet, in which the liberal thought of economics has been layed out, had gained an original composition with Münif Paşa?s criticisms to some applications in his period and theories of Adam Smith and Thomas R. Malthus. When İlm-i Tedbîr-i Memleket and İlm-i Servet are been analysed, it will be seen that the economic issues and views share similarity. In terms of this similarity, it can be claimed that İlm-i Tedbîr-i Memleket had provided a basis for `İlm-i Servet.
