Abstract:
There are very few serious academic works on the role of the foundations (bonyads) in Iran. The fact is that these organisations do not communicate a lot of (if any) information on their activities. This paper will try to measure the scope of their economic activities, and will address the question whether these foundations are an obstacle to a real liberalization of the Iranian economy.
