Ali Alizadeh's conversation with Bijan Abdolkarimi What is development? Is Iran moving towards development or is it moving further away from it every moment? When did we Iranians first realize in our history that we are not developed? Did Reza Khan Mirpanj move us further away from development by attacking the democratic achievements of the Constitution or did he bring us closer to development by creating security and infrastructure such as railways and schools? What about Mohammad Reza Pahlavi? And finally, was the Islamic Revolution an engine that accelerated development or a brake on it?
