It underlines the idea that the most effective means for a nation to meet challenges and practices of the modern era lies with the fundamental values and norms that resonate with its inhabitants. This book is meant to be a companion to the author?s published book Iran Revisited: Exploring the Historical Roots of Culture, Economics, and Society that expands upon that book?s ideas, without repeating its theoretical reasoning. Its goal is to offer a better understanding of the current and evolving situations in Iran. In this regard, the author tried to clarify his position through a host of suggestions, most notably, the need to consider social rights as the bare minimum but extremely imperative criteria in our contemporary discourse for the betterment of our society. These rights, he argues, are the most fundamental tenets of any community that strives to succeed and flourish. In this context, the underlying discussion rests on the following claim: the most persisting problems in Iran are the outcomes of the gradual regression of the people? mindset that persistently overlooked their heritage and value system in favor of imitating ideas that were/are neither compatible with their culture and history, nor applicable to the country?s socioeconomic conditions. The author, therefore, presumed that these predicaments are self-inflicted: they were neither caused by a specific state, nor belong to a historical period, or individual(s); they cannot be characterized by political or economic terminologies, but are firmly rooted in people inability to recognize that the most vital principle in developing and propelling a nation forward is the existence of a unified people. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 606 $aMiddle East?Economic conditions 606 $aMiddle East?Politics and government 606 $aMiddle East?History 606 $aMiddle Eastern and North African Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45050 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911160 606 $aHistory of the Middle East$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715060 615 0$aMiddle East?Economic conditions. 615 0$aMiddle East?Politics and government. 615 0$aMiddle East?History. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern and North African Economics. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 676 $a955 676 $a320.540955 700 $aPirzadeh$b Ali$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0922400 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349546103321 996 $aModern Iran in Perspective$92069856 997 $aUNINA
