Abstract

This paper examines economic liberalization reforms in post-revolutionary Iran. The paper explores the problems that have been encountered in implementing economic reforms in recent years, which include adjustment of prices, unifying of the exchange rates, and privatization of state-owned enterprises. The paper also discusses the methods used in privatizing the state-owned enterprises and their fallout due to the underestimation of their assets’ values and corruption in their selling process. The paper further explains why the current structure of the Iranian government makes the reforms unsuccessful and why neoliberal economic policies are not compatible with Islamic egalitarian values.
