Episode notes

Ras Sanjani tried to focus on attracting foreign investment, privatization of state enterprises. Article 44 of the Constitution explicitly stated that all major industries and natural monopolies had to be actually nationalized. This was an attempt to try and circumvent that by pursuing policies of kind of privatization. It's also in this period that we see the huge, huge, huge warmite mobilization in the form of the revolutionary guards in the war effort with Iraq. That was part four of my interview with Esconders Sidi Yibor Adjairi and Goulnar Nickpore.

Featuring Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran. This is the fourth episode in what is now a FIVE-part series. We pick up in the wake of the Islamic Revolution as Khomeini consolidates power, represses his rivals, and confronts an invasion from Saddam Hussein's Iraq. We continue through the Iran-Iraq War, the mass execution of thousands of leftist prisoners, and Khamenei and Rafsanjani's rise to power after Khomeini's death.
