It identifies the ways in which the country, often imagined as 'isolated', is actually integrated into the global capitalist economy. It also explains the often-heated relationship of the regional powerhouse with the outside world, especially with West Asian neighbours and the United States. Both rigorous and readable, the book covers: - Iran's unusual path of capitalist development; - The relationship between politics and religion in what is known as 'God's Kingdom'; - The international and domestic factors that shape Iranian politics and society. Assuming no prior knowledge, this book is an ideal starting point for students and general readers looking for a thought-provoking introduction to contemporary Iran.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An excellent overview. Farhang Morady's use of history and political economy simultaneously to capture the peculiarities of Iranian development and place them in a larger context is particularly impressive. Indispensable." Alex Callinicos, King's College London<br><br>"Farhang Morady provides an excellent and incisive account of the tumultuous developments of Iran since the 1979 revolution, providing an expert analysis of both Iran's domestic and foreign policy." Roland Dannreuther, University of Westminster<br>
