Abstract :After the National Struggle, Turkish National State was established under the leadership of Atatürk. After the form of goverment became a republic in 1923, the understanding of national will and national soverignty was adopted. The revolutions made one after the other were meant for the movements to protect and enable this new national state. After the World Economic Depression of 1929, the Republic of Turkey adopted the princeples of statism in 1932. It is possible to say that the Journal Kadro, which started its publication life in January of the same year and published 36 issues in 3 years, tried to produce a unique theory of the Turkish revolution. The articles in the journal were generally focused on culture, literature, domestic and foreign policy and the current political situation. But actually articles on economics and economy were focused. In this context, the authors of the Journal Kadro, who were motivated by Turkey’s need for economic development, published original ideas on industrialisation and technological progress. In this paper, the articles of M. Şevki (Yazman) Bey, one of the authors of the Journal Kadro were evaluated. It was tried to reveal that the ideas and thoughts put forward by Yazman contributed to the economic, technical and scientific development of Turkey.
