"At the same time, in the early 21 century of integrated world markets just how much of a national bourgeoisie could exist remains a question."

Ain't over just yet.  Once we get rid of the global usurious regime (and that will probably take another WW) and get back to national fiat currencies bearing no interest (to City of London), the future for national bourgeoisie will be bright.

Global trade does not destroy national wealth.  A global fiat currency is the culprit.  After all, nations have been trading for centuries.

The Book...Melting like snow flakes (or such)...

This is the publisher.

ESPECIALLY women will provide the building materials for that shrine.

No. Unfortunately I don't

No. Unfortunately I don't remember that book.............I'll check around.......

As VPK says, and one more thing; the ultimate embodiment of national bourgeoisie and neoliberalism at the same time.

Sarmayeh'dary Meli doesn't need to be a bad word and its not. Fatemi is probably the best representative of that tradition.

At the same time, in the early 21 century of integrated world markets just how much of a national bourgeoisie could exist remains a question.

Pasdaran could be the ultimate capitalists in the mere sense of increasing profits? By imposing very low wages, and maintaining a vast pool of cheap labor, through the vast conglomerates they own, and others which they have an influence over ; thus providing a very low labor cost to begin with.

P.S. Do you remeber that book "Mesl barf ab mishavim?"

...

Twisted comment indeed.................The Pasdaran monopoly: Fascism, some call it........national bourgeoisie doesn't have to be a bad word.................

...

Shah's biggest mistake? Keeping Fardost so close to himself.

Then again he grow up with Fardost, yet Fardost was probably the one that engineered the publication of that letter, and most other subsequent sabatoges against shah.

Amirparvis: Its incredible that you hear words from his mouth and yet your refuse to recognize what you're dealing. 

There was a book published in Iran based on the recorded conversations of the Army's cheif of staff and his generals. The title of the book was "We will melt like snow," [Mesl barf ab mishavim]. Once you read their conversations, the leading generals of the army, you'll see how much there was no team, no second opinion, and nothign else but shah's personal ego.

Does anyone remember that book?

"Shah's biggest mistake"?

His betrayal of capitalism........national bourgeoisie, in its truest sense............that mistake proved to be fatal for him...............

I sometimes see that since the majority of

Anti-Monarchists and Pahlavi haters are MEN who are deeply disappointed at the results of their own betrayal towards the defender of the culture of Iran, if it is really rooted in sexist views.  It would make sense, after all womens rights were really one of the Biggest accomplishments of the late Shah.  God bless him.

Ms. Elham 57,

Doyou think women will provide the building materials for that shrine, too?

One way of seeing is many ways of not seeing.

A shrine? Highly unlikely. A Museum? Perhaps.

Of ourse that would be a national museum on monarchy and monarchs in Iran.

Although other than Karim Khan Zand [Vakil o Raaya] and a few others like him, most won't get or deserve that much respect.

P.N. what really messed up shah was the lack of continued cash flow to Iran; due to the onset of early 70's crisis. With the gargantuan plans he had started, such financial discontinuities porved to be fatal

If you read the news accounts of two years before revolution, there are all these trips by English bankers, for emergency loans. None of them came through. And of course after that almost everything he did was either a big mistake or compeletly out of his hands: Cienema Rex.

After all these years I still think his single biggest mistake (sounda like a good theme for a blog: "Name Shah's Single Biggest Mistake?") was publishing  that letter in Ettelat against Khomeini and the overnight propelling of khomeini to national attention, at that crucial juncture.

Think before you act,

We all know shah was also a politician, running a nation where the majority of adults, like maybe if you were to look in your community were there were many bonafide bigots, largly due to the history of the islamc religion in iran.  So With that in mind, with the late Shah we always have to be careful because of this reality, to look at his actions above his words at all times to know what he really thought of us.  He made sure Women were treated equally by law and he personally saw them as equal in worth and given equal opportunity, better than in the UK/USA/France.  His actions for equality for women were at the very heart of the islamic fundamentalists lies and hatred towards him.  If only you knew how much he did for women and could communicate the truth in his actions and explain to others the difference between his actions and his words.  I hear that being an anti-monarchist or Pahlavi hater is a lost cause these days, didn't you get the memo from iranians?

"Mark my words"

Only if you knew what he thought of you..............

Mark my words

The children of those who pulled down your statutes, will build a shrine in your memory in Iran of the future.

mehrdadm this clip was a really good one, for thinkers

Thanks for finding the clip, a gem. : )

On West writing too much and working not enough...

Your Majesty, If only I could have explained to you that the reason the West invests more in media than on their military and secret services is because these are the tools they use to manipulate, deceive and coerce people around the world. They first fool ther own and then work on others, what doesn't work on their own they don't use on others, what does work on their own they do use on others. The manipulation that Iranians allowed in, has caused more hurt and harm and suppression than you could have imagined. The last 50 years have been the worst for both human rights and democracy around the world. 

Since your prime minister, your personal doctor and you were so darkly murdered by receiving cancer the empire of the United States has done nothing but harm human rights and democracy on earth, Paraguay's Fernando Lugo, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff and former Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and the populist leader of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have all been diagnosed with cancer since America has not changed her ways at all and like you they stand opposed to foreign domination of their peoples and work hard at achieving freedom for their people like you did.  God bless you and above all Thank you for all your efforts.  The Light of Truth wiil Triumph.

Shah and West

His criticism of western democracy remained me of left leaning student of the same era....

His Majesty should have cut down on "suggar nibbling" after the "oil boom" in the 70's. He started to appear too big for his shoes.......a troublesome megalomaniac...............His gamble on the American domestic politics bankrupted him...............And ultimately, His detachment from His own people cost His retarded son dearly.......................
