This book highlights fundamental, but often neglected, issues
important for a better understanding of present-day Iran. 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.
