MÜSİAD, which has left behind its 30th year and is an important witness to Türkiye's recent history, has launched the “MÜSİAD Saygı Library” project in order to pass on to future generations the life stories of the valuable businesspeople, academics and thinkers raised by Anatolia who have shaped our country's intellectual and economic course. 

The first series, consisting of 5 books, of the MÜSİAD Saygı Library project, launched in order to convey the life stories, experiences and memories of the valuable people raised by the Anatolian lands to the widest possible audiences, has met its readers.

In the first series of the MÜSİAD Saygı Library, launched in order to immortalize the life stories of the businesspeople, academics and thinkers who have shaped our country's intellectual and economic course, the impressive life adventures of SABAHATTİN ZAİM, NEVZAT YALÇINTAŞ, ADNAN BÜYÜKDENİZ, ABDULLAH TİVNİKLİ and SABRİ ÜLKER are featured.

The life stories of the valuable names of business, academic and commercial life, who, in the light of the values of the civilization from which they were born, devoted their lives to studies of knowledge and wisdom with the understanding that “he who runs with love does not tire”, were compiled under the editorship of Dr. Şefik Memiş and as a result of the meticulous work of different authors.

The Names in the Saygı Library Believed That Gain Would Be Not Only in This World but in the Hereafter

Independent Industrialists and Businessmen Association (MÜSİAD) President Abdurrahman Kaan, who stated that the transfer of knowledge, accumulation and experience is one of the greatest components that constitute civilization:

“MÜSİAD, which is the outward expression of a great principle, of a life understanding that places the human being at the centre of a vision of civilization, is for this reason not constituted by individuals; but it carries colour from individuals. In every brick of this respected business association of ours there is the contribution of an intellectual, of an entrepreneur. They both existed at times when no one was around, when no one came forward, and they also formed a track, a path for other people and opened the way. In order to bring out this contribution of theirs and to pass on the vein from which MÜSİAD is nourished to new periods, and to ensure that this understanding increases manifold, we have started an important work. Our Saygı Library series, which we have prepared in order to connect a magnificent past to a glorious future, will fill an important gap. Because those included in this series acted in line with their beliefs both while earning and while spending; they are names who believed that gain would be not only in this world but in the hereafter.”

The work, prepared by the MÜSİAD Media and Culture Economies Committee, will continue with its other series planned to be launched in the coming period.
