The Turkish Disease
The Economist coined the term “Dutch Disease” in 1977 to describe the decline of the manufacturing sector in Holland after the discovery of large North Sea natural gas deposits in 1959.
While it is also referred to as the natural resource curse, the term is more generally used to explain any increase in wealth emanating from a large inflow of foreign currency, including a surge in commodity prices, foreign direct investment or even foreign aid.
