Secondly, interest and perception of people about politics and municipal administration were inve...
Toplumsal Yapı Ve Eğitim Ersoy, Melih (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1976) Kapitalist üretim biçimi, yapısı gereği eşit olmayan gelişme yasalarına uyar. Bu toplum biçiminin bir dengeler bütünü olduğunu savlayan görüş, kuramla nesnel gerçeklik arasındaki uyuşmazlığın nedenini piyasa mekanizmasının tam olarak işleyememesine bağlar.

Bu ana işlevler yanında kapitalizmin kendine özgü iç çel...
