Description

Gain deep insights into the economic, political, and social evolution of Iran through this comprehensive historical study. The Monetary History of Iran offers a detailed look at the nation's financial landscape from the start of the Safavid dynasty in 1501 to the conclusion of Qajar rule in 1925. This book serves as the first thorough investigation into Iran's monetary systems during this transformative era. By examining previously unpublished sources across ten different languages, the authors provide a clear view of how money functioned in Iranian society. You will learn about the circulation of ready money, the changing conditions within the country's mints, and how the state managed its currency over four centuries. Whether you are a student of Middle Eastern history, an economics researcher, or a collector of historical texts, this volume provides the necessary context to understand the financial foundations of the Persianate world.
