The Deprivation Cases and Social Gap in the Second Pahlavi Era(Causes and Contexts)

The economic situation and growth and development of Iran during the ups and downs of the Pahlavi regime have raised a question occupying the minds of scholars of the Islamic Revolution. Despite the various issues being proposed in this regard, few significant documentary researches have been carried out. Using content analysis method for the analysis of the documents published by family members and agents of the Pahlavi regime, and official and oral documents and memoirs including Harvard’s oral history including interviews with Pahlavi agents, Assadollah Alam's memoirs, Cambridge history, while reviewing the economic and living state, the research made an attempt to analyze political and social issues such as the factors of poverty and deprivation and increase of the class gap, for achieving the following main themes in creating the conditions for the decline of Iran's economy and the quality of society: 1. The structural land reform aimed at reducing the role of the feudal lords did not help the peasantry, and in practice deprivation continued in new forms. 2. Deficiency in the distribution of various material resources due to lack of mediating institutions between the government and the state. 3. Violating the constitution and the civil law related to the implementation of social justice due to the authoritarian structure of the government.
