to report Online economy According to ISNA, Economist Beck criticizes the policy of shock therapy in the economy, especially emphasizing the pocketing of 100 units from people and producers, and puts forward the view that distributing half of this amount in the form of coupons, although it is better than nothing, but it cannot lead a society that is used to charity towards freedom, independence, social justice and development in the long term.
Farshad Momeni said at the launch of the book “Farshad’s Narrative”: During the years when I was the prime minister, I saw firsthand that there is zeal, honor and sacrifice. During the war, the economic and national development works were carried out honorably and honorably, and were based on the person of Mr. Alainasab. I often heard Mr. Engineer Mousavi saying that if His Highness is not present in a meeting, it will be very difficult to support the deprived and the oppressed.
He added: His Highness was a person with unique singing power and practical knowledge. Part of the theories that I learned during my studies took place through the teachings of Mr. Ali Nasab. No professor was able to understand the implications and applications of those theories according to Iran’s conditions and to have an explanation for it. After the war, he said that I have a taste for structural adjustment of borders and consider it as a deadly poison for Iran.
Momeni stated that you saw what the country was in after the war with the implementation of structural adjustment policies and noted: I chose mathematics in the 40s, but some of my critics say that Momeni is allergic to mathematics. When you understand what is the right path, don’t be afraid of the rebuke of those who blame.
This university professor continued: Iran’s upliftment requires the achievement of an epistemological base. That epistemic base is the idea of development, and in the framework of the idea of development, if we want to move forward well, we must know Iran. According to Jean Baudrillard, developing countries are in the captivity of hyper-realities, that is, manipulated realities that a large part of the inefficiencies, corruptions and inabilities that you see in the administration of Iran’s economy and society are not limited to the fact that there is corruption or dependence on foreign countries. Rather, the dominance of these manipulated facts in the interests of the so-called mafias and usurers can be considered.
He stated: We really need to talk to our government in this regard. If we try to abandon wisdom and rationality, we will all suffer. But if we are able to build a memory-based and critical education system, the country will be saved. It is unfortunate that in the field of science and in other fields, we are looking for quiet and obedient people. We should put reason at the forefront of our work and allow criticism of all issues.
In a country where Motahari, Beheshti and Mirhossein Mousavi are labeled as leftists, I am proud to be a leftist.
Referring to the capture of the power structure by oligarchs and mafias, Momeni said: Here, because labels work, if you speak, they say it was the left. I am saying that in a country where Motahari, Beheshti, Alinasab and Engineer Mousavi are labeled as leftists, I am proud of being leftist. In a rational confrontation, just as the tradition of liberal thinking is a part of the stock of human knowledge, the tradition of Marxism is also a part of the stock of human knowledge. No theory can cover all reality. The service of Marx’s intellectual legacy to human society is not less, if not more, than that of liberals. But we see that now both Marxism and liberalism have become blasphemy.
This economist reminded: In Shahid Beheshti’s view, liberalism is based on four pillars of thought, and there is sympathy with three of them from the Islamic point of view. This empathy is more about Marxism than liberalism; Because at least in the slogan they said that human rights should be given fairly.
Shock therapy is a form of pickpocketing from people and producers
Criticizing the policy of shock therapy in the economy, he said: Shock therapy is a form of pickpocketing 100 units of people and producers. Then half of these 100 units are distributed to people in the form of coupons. It is true that half a unit of distribution is better than not distributing anything, but if we have a long-term horizon, we must understand that a society that is used to charity cannot move towards freedom, independence, social justice and development.
Momeni stated: What kind of division of labor is this that the Ministry of Labor does not use at all and takes over the organization of charity? In the essence of this problem, there is instability. I can deal with the deceptions and manipulations of reality as much as a three-credit course in one semester. The media supports this mafia system which has become a belief in the name of economics.
We are in a state of armed peace
Referring to the 40-day war against Iran, this university professor said: Right now, when we are in a state of armed peace, some people who always chanted for economic liberation have been saying in their special platforms for some time that we have to accept that it is a state of war, and in a state of war, the government has a lot of responsibility. But I predict that when they are all focused on the fact that the government has no money, the wheels of production are asleep and 70% of the people need donations, then we will go to shock therapy again.
He clarified: I do not deny the existence of those who are in the hands of this way of thinking with good intentions and carelessly, but those who recognize their own interests hire people and advance their work through the dominance of hyper-realities and manipulated realities.
Momeni raised the question why in the last 100 or so years of Iran’s history, everyone who knows the right path has been sidelined, and said: They are engaging us in the Heydari-Nemati wars. We are still undecided and have not been able to learn from constitutional experiences; Because the constitutional and legitimate lawsuit does not allow us to deal with the essence of the matter.
A doctoral student in Iran may not hear the name of Sani al-Douleh even once
This economist added: A student of humanities and social sciences in Iran can advance to the doctorate stage and not even once hear the names of people like Sani al-Doulah, Malek al-Mutakalmin, Seyyed Jamal al-Din, and Waez. May God have mercy on all academics who helped Dr. Mossadegh and his associates during the nationalization of oil. After the coup happened, some of Dr. Mossadegh’s academic colleagues said that Iran’s issues are much more fundamental than so-and-so or Bahmani being the prime minister. We have fundamental problems that should be explained in due time.
He emphasized: I consciously came out of the power structure and went to university. I also asked God to give me the ability to remain steadfast in this path as much as I can. I said to God, bless my work and I promise not to use this knowledge to fill my pocket, but to defend the defenseless servants.
Momeni said: Some people may say, what kind of economy is this, that so-and-so read while his own life situation is like this. If they make such a mistake, I thank them because it shows that I have had some level of practical adherence to my promise.
Stating that the basic pillar of critical thinking is the updating of the researcher, this university professor said: The researcher must be familiar with the latest intellectual achievements and the daily realities of his society.
The mafia imposes big lies as truth
He emphasized the role of mafias in imposing big lies as a scientific fact to Iranian society and added: For this reason, we should focus more on fair distribution of voice and fair advice of information in a fair understanding of today’s requirements in Iran. Those who, with any justification and intention, distort the fair distribution of voice and information and stratify access, either do not understand the requirements of development, or have a relationship with the interests of outsiders and mafias.
Momeni stated: Shahid Beheshti considers the right of people to organize in line with the firm principles of Islamic administration of affairs, and in the same proportion as he considers obstruction on the way to this goal anti-development, he also considers it anti-Islamic. Today, more than ever, we need mastery and elucidate the technological gap, its implications and implications. The biggest neglects in this field happened during the period of structural adjustment during the imposed eight-year post-war period.
Stating that the interests of the mafias have caused no one to talk about the terrible collapse of the national production base, especially since the beginning of the 1390s, this economist said: The mafias started a scheme that when discussing inflation, the least important variables and their role in inflation are mentioned, but you do not hear anything about the role of the collapse of the technological production base in this context. This means we have a lot of work to do. The whole system of collective life should be based on creativity and improvement so that we can have peace in our heads.
