Coşkun Can Aktan is an academic and author whose work examines public choice, constitutional political economy, institutions, ethics, and reform. Perspectives on Economics, Politics and Ethics: Selected Essays brings these fields together by treating economic decisions as questions of rules, incentives, public authority, and moral judgment. Privatization & the Turkish Experience focuses more narrowly on the transfer of state enterprises and the policy debates surrounding market-oriented change. The selected essays offer the broader introduction because they reveal the connections Aktan draws among economics, politics, and ethics. Privatization & the Turkish Experience then provides a concentrated case study of institutional reform. Read together, the two books show a writer concerned not only with policy outcomes, but also with the constitutional and ethical framework in which public decisions are made.
