The Concept and Components of Endogeneity in the Resistance Economy

Endogeneity is one of the central components of the resistance economy that its concept and components have not been precisely explained. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper studies the concept and components of endogeneity in the resistance economy. The findings show that, endogeneity means relying on national capacities by maximizing productivity to increase wealth, sustainable growth and economic security of a country. According to the definition, endogeneity has four central components: self-confidence, self-reliance, self-sufficiency and self-promotion. Examining the verses and hadiths, we conclude that the two main goals of endogenousness in the economy are ensuring abundant growth and strengthing the economic security. Given the relationship between endogenousness and other components of resistance economics, it seems that endogenousity plays an essential role in the realization of other components of resistance economics such as outward-looking, justice-oriented and people-based nature of resistance economics.
