Liberalization part is false.
Although Atatürk, in a complete break with the past, established a secular government, Islam continues to have a pivotal role in the life and character of the nation.
Turkish society can be broadly divided into four subgroups: Atatürk supporters(secularists), Leftists, Islamic fundamentalists, and Modern Islamists.
Atatürk supporters uphold links with the West and look for modernization at every opportunity. They are educated, middle-class, progressive citizens who are muslim. They revere Atatürk, and often can be heard to mourn that there is no one like him today. They are fiercely loyal to the values of democracy, liberalization, and modernization stressed by him.
Weakened by the war, no European nation could provide the financial leadership to halt the economic downturn. Only one nation — the Soviet Union — experienced an increase in industrial production at the cost of extraordinary hardships on its citizens.
The Americans who do not always trust their government remain deeply proud of their nation and willing to sacrifice for it. Comparing Americans with Western Europeans on these dimensions is instructive. Studies have shown that more Americans say they are very proud of their country (80 percent) and are willing to fight for it (71 percent) than the citizens of Great Britain, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany in relation to their countries.

Economic institutions shape economic incentives: the incentives to become educated, to save and invest, to innovate and adopt new technologies, and so on. It is the political process that determines what economic institutions people live under, and it is the political institutions that determine how this process works.
For example, it is the political institutions of a nation that determine the ability of citizens to control politicians and influence how they behave.
This in turn determines whether politicians are agents of the citizens, albeit imperfect, or are able to abuse the power entrusted to them, or that they have usurped, to amass their own fortunes and to pursue their own agendas, ones detrimental to those of citizens.
