For about 150 years, the Iranian people and elites have been asking themselves why some countries have developed, but Iran, unlike developed countries, has lagged behind in the development cycle! In this video, we reviewed the trends of Iran's success and failure throughout contemporary history and tried to examine the narrow path of development and freedom that led to Iran's development. chapters: 00:00 Introduction and story by Farhad Meysami 01:25 History of the question Why do nations fail? 03:31 Ajamoglu and Robinson's view on development 05:00 The difference between countries is in the institutions 06:54 Summary of the book The Narrow Path of Freedom 09:18 The relationship between freedom and economic development 11:18 Diagram of government power and people's power 14:32 Freedom means freedom from the government 15:30 Three paths of the relationship between people and government 20:41 The relationship between people and government in the contemporary history of Iran 25:25 The relationship between people and government after the revolution 27:35 The scourge of the 1990s on the Iranian economy 28:36 Summary Ajamoglu's book The Narrow Path of Freedom addresses the question of what is the reason for the difference in economic growth of different countries, and in this video, we tried to examine the issue of Iran's development using the approach of this book. Are culture, geographical location, and climate the main reasons for Iran's backwardness in development?! A large group of economists believe that the freedom of societies is the prelude to the development of countries. In this book, Ajamoglu introduces the main flaw in the rationality of countries as the institutions of that society. The institutions of that society or the laws and regulations of that society shape the motivation of economic activists for development. If the laws and regulations of a society are determined in such a way that the people of that society feel that the benefits of economic activities are not going to reach them, they will stop trying to develop the country.
