| Abstract | "This book presents a multifaceted view of Iran's economic development and the people who made it possible, from the late Qajar period to the revolution of 1979. Containing innovative scholarly research across a wide spectrum of historical viewpoints and methodologies, the book brings to light a number of new findings using a body of largely unknown research from Iranian archives. It examines economic and labour history together, covering topics such as the private sector, family business and worker histories, and events in the provinces"-- Provided by publisher. |
