Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 08/22/2019 - 16:24

This thesis examines the ideological and theoretical underpinnings of post-revolutionary Iran, in particular, the revolutionary government's policies based on Islamization of economic thought. Private property rights and the liberal and radical ideology of the state are considered, together with questions regarding the limits to legitimately acquired private property and limited economic role of the state. Specifically, the issue of 'distributive equity' through public ownership and limited ownership of private land and capital are detailed.
