well, you seem to be viewing poland through rose colored glasses when trying to make a 1-1 comparison with turkey. you seem to gloss over the fact that poland is heavily dependent on Germany who represents a massive portion of its exports.. nearly a quarter. And in the last few years (unlike many eu states who shall remain nameless)Poland was smart enough to invest heavily in the public sector to keep itself from falling into recession. the growth it has seen has just offset the decline in the private sector wich did see a sharp decline. As it is, with those public investments winding down... what next for poland?
Thats not saying anything bad about poland, it just does not have a leadership role, its economy is integrated with and in turn dependent on the EU. its essentially in the same boat as other developed economies, scratching tooth and nail to maintain growth.
But Turkey, you took such pains to explain how turkey's economy lies in constantinople and the coastal cities... the rest you say is "third world"... In a effort to illustrate how Poland was "better" for the EU than turkey.
But that not quite true. if you are talking about the Economy, you inadvertently said it yourself, Turkish Economic Potential is miles above that of poland simply because of its lack of development. That it is Not an EU state, yet you are still able to split hairs and make comparisons to an EU state says alot.
Turkey wont see the expected explosion of growth of other developing economies like Brazil, india
But it DOES have the potential to Hit the GDP Top 10 in a matter of decades. easily leaving poland and many other eu states in the dust...and depending on its own politics and policies, it is no stretch to say that it can be the 3rd largest in Europe.
And this is Without the benefits of the EU.
I dont particularly Care if Turkey Joins the EU or not, but do you really think it would be in the EU's interest not to exploit that?
your reasoning with turkey & the EU has very little to do with economic reality.
