Erdogan is a Turkish politician who has been prime minister and is now president. Contrary to popular beliefe Erdogan is not the sole ruler in Turkey nor does he have absolute authority. Erdogan is a social conservative put is fiscally
centrist, being for a free market and low taxes but also wanting to provide
social services for the common folk. Erdogan is somewhat authoritarian, this is true, though in his defense his country has always been that way, the difference being that
NGO's ruled the nation before hand.
Erdogan has been critized recent years due to economic
decrease, those critical people are often young and miss the fact that Erdogan increased the
country's purchasing power by
350 percent in the last 20 years.
