Description

Explore a detailed historical account of Iran's economic and political shifts in 'Iran (RLE Iran D): The Illusion of Power'. This Routledge publication examines the profound impact of the 1973 oil price surge, which caused Iran's foreign revenues to quadruple in just over two months. As the first OPEC member to distribute this massive extra revenue on a large scale, Iran serves as a primary case study for the social, economic, and political challenges that arise from sudden wealth. This book traces the entire cycle of the economic boom. It moves from the country's early rural and backward state to the intense euphoria of 1973. Readers will learn about the Shah's ambitious goals for the Great Civilisation and the subsequent developments that shaped the nation leading into the 1990s. It is an essential resource for those studying economic conditions, Middle Eastern history, and the complexities of resource-driven economies.
