An Analysis of the Functioning of the Governments of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Islamization of Economics

One of the fundamental issues about the Iranian economy is the lagging behind of the economic aspirations of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic. One of the explicit ideals is the Islamization of the economic system. What is expected of a government is to move toward its goals. Have the governments established in the Islamic Republic acted towards achieving Islamic goals in the economy? This article is an attempt to answer this question. Based on this, an index is built that is based on the principles of Islam, indicating an economy compatible with the principles of Islam. Then, the statistical trends of the trend and its changes for the period 1358 to 1393 have been measured. Then the eight-year periods of each state are compared. The result shows that there has been little change in the index in the 8 years of 1968-1998 (government imposed war). The index improved by about 8% during the period of 1989-1998. In the period 1997-2004 (the reformist government) the index increased by about 28% and in the period 2005-2004 (the reformist government) the index decreased by about 8%.
