Özet:

 The aim of this study is to try to define the structure in which the individual becomes a consumer object rather than a producer subject in the machine age, based on the concept of value within the framework of the old institutional economics approach. According to Kuçuradi, the place of the evaluated thing among its similar ones is the true value knowledge of that thing and is independent of value judgments and beliefs. Suppose If value judgments, beliefs, and cultural norms are effective in determining the value or even if the correct value information is obtained, in the evaluation process. In that case, we cannot talk about the true value of knowledge and the evaluation process. Freedom is the state of being able to be consistent in action and thought because of correct value knowledge and a correct evaluation process without being affected by value judgments. The concepts that Kuçuradi defines as value judgments are parallel to the institutions in Veblens approach. In conspicuous consumption, which is an example of this situation, where the individuals choice is not based on the correct value information of goods and services. The consumer makes her their choice based on the status and power she they think she they will gain. In this context, the aim of this study is to show that the human is an object that ensures the continuity of the system and to reveal the questionability of freedom.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireyin makina çağında, üreten özne değil tüketen nesne haline geldiği yapıyı eski kurumsal iktisat yaklaşımı çerçevesinde değer kavramı ile temellendirerek tanımlamaya çalışmaktır. Kuçuradiye göre, değerlendirilen şeyin benzerleri arasındaki yeri o şeyin doğru değer bilgisidir ve değer yargılardan ve inançlardan bağımsızdır. Eğer değerin belirlenmesinde veya doğru değer bilgisi elde edilse bile değerlendirme sürecinde değer yargıları, inançlar ve kültürel normlar etkiliyse o zaman doğru değer bilgisinden ve değerlendirme sürecinden bahsedemeyiz. Özgürlük ise, doğru değer bilgisi ve doğru değerlendirme süreci sonucunda değer yargılarından etkilenmeden- eylemin ve düşüncenin tutarlı olabilme durumudur. Kuçuradinin değer yargılar olarak tanımladığı kavramlar Veblenin yaklaşımındaki kurumlarla paralellik göstermektedir. Bu durumun bir örneği olan gösteriş tüketiminde insanların tercihi mal ve hizmetlerin doğru değer bilgisine dayanmamaktadır. Tüketici tercihini elde edeceğini düşündüğü statü ve güç göstergesine bağlı olarak yapmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı insanın sistemin devamlılığını sağlayan bir nesne olduğunu göstermek ve özgürlüğünün sorgulanabilirliğini ortaya koymaktır.
