Citizenship = Data and Tax (Individual = Market and State)

Öz

The fact that the socio-economic dimension of the interaction between the state, the market and the individual due to technological developments is under discussion in terms of its legal foundations requires an interdisciplinary analysis. This study presents a socio-political, public and economic analysis of technological developments and a proposed model. In this context, the scope of our study is to discuss the effectiveness of state-individual-market interactions and intersections and the causes of conflict in deterministic and stochastic terms. The aim of this study is to define the new and somewhat uncertain (stochastic) political maneuvering space of the state apparatus in the socio-economic sphere (determinism) in today’s world, where the debates on the shrinking of the actual/productive volume of the state in the economic sphere have become clearer. The theoretical part of this discussion is based on the definitions of determinism (adherence to a specific data set/legal scope) and stochasticism (unpredictability, uncertainty, and mentality/culture). However, the rationale for this theoretical definition will be evaluated in terms of “knowledge, knowledge formation and the socio-political function of knowledge”.

VATANDAŞLIK= VERİ VE VERGİ (BİREY= PİYASA VE DEVLET)

Öz

Birey, piyasa ve devlet arasındaki teknolojik gelişmeler kaynaklı etkileşimin sosyo-ekonomik boyutunun yasal temelleri bakımından tartışmaya konu edilmesi interdisipliner bir analizi zorunlu kılmaktadır. Çalışma teknolojik gelişmelerin; sosyo-politik, mali ve iktisadi açıdan analizini sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızın kapsamı; birey-piyasa- devlet üçlüsünün etkileşim ve kesişme alanlarının etkililiği ile çatışma/uyuşmazlık gibi hususlarının nedenlerini deterministtik ve stokastik açıdan tartışmaya tabi tutmaktır. Çalışmanın amacı ise devletin iktisadi alanda üretim hacminin daralmasına yönelik tartışmaların berraklaştığı günümüzde, teknolojik gelişmeler ile devletin sosyo-ekonomik alan üzerindeki yeni ve birazda belirsizlik (stokastik) üzerine kurulu siyasi manevra alanını tanımlamaktır. Bu tartışmanın teorik kısmının temelini deterministtik (belirli bir veri setine bağlılık/yasal kapsam) ve stokastik (öngörülemezlik, belirsizlik, zihniyet/kültür) tanımlamalar oluşturmaktadır. Bununla birlikte teorik tanımlamanın gerekçesini ise “bilgi, bilginin oluşumu ve bilginin sosyo-politik işlevi” bakımından değerlendirmeye tabi tutacağız. Çalışmanın çıktısı ise bireyin davranışlarının ve tercihlerinin hem kamusal hem de piyasa alanındaki temel belirleyici olmasına yönelik tespitlerdir.
