Sumario:The policy of building up a domestic bourgeois class and strengthening the national economy in order to save the country from the pressure and exploitation of the foreign capital, was a policy that had been taken over from the Committee of Union and Progress. The establisher leader team of the Republic carried on this policy with determination. Some legal regulations were made related to this issue right after the new regime was established. While consuming domestic goods was encouraged on one hand, saving consciousness and habits were tried to be created on the other, to ensure the capital formation. The 1929-1930 World Economic Crisis, which was the first global crisis of the capitalist world, made the policy of shifting to domestic goods and reducing consumption more important, which Turkey had already started. Mobilization was declared on consuming domestic goods, aside from serious import cuts. Various legal and institutional regulations were made for this reason. Although it lost its importance totally today, “Savings and Domestic Goods Week” had started to be celebrated in the primary schools between December 12-18, which had been a product of the policy of national economy that was tried to be formed. Also, using domestic goods and the idea of making a contribution to national economy by saving were developed in the media of the time, in children’s magazines and in children’s plays written with educational purposes on various subjects. In this research it was tried to be revealed how the policy of saving and consuming domestic goods was implemented efficiently, especially through children’s plays/dramas during 1930s.
