An Analysis of the Threats to Economic Security in the Government of Hāshemi Rafsanjāni from the View of Imam Khomeyni

The purpose of the present study is to review the threats to economic security of the society during the presidency of Hāshemi Rafsanjāni, based on the economic ideas of Imam Khomeyni. The method of study is descriptive-analytic and the results indicated that neglecting the ideas and advice of Imam Khomeyni had a basic role in the occurrence of threats to economic security during the second decade of the revolution. In the decade under study, some factors such as unbalanced development, tendency to capitalist economy, neglecting social justice, oil dependence, social inequality, administrative and managerial corruption, increasing import and propagation of consumerism, unemployment, and deviation in privatization were threatening economic security of the society but if the ideas of Imam Khomeyni were considered, Islamic society would not face such threats.
