The economic structure of the Ottoman State had a pre-capitalism quality. Therefore, some principles are mentioned in the Ottoman economic mindset as they are applicable to all pre-capitalism societies. These principles are provisionalism, traditionalism, and fiscalism. In the study, Ottoman crafts in the Classical Period were examined under the headings of weaving, leather making and mining. The main result obtained is that Ottoman craft production was carried out within the framework of mindset principles in the Classical Period. Another conclusion is that the extra-economic seizure of social surplus by the power in pre-capitalist structures was also valid for the Ottoman State in the Classical Period.
