"Wouldn't you like to know why the Iranian revolution occured? This book was used in a History of Iran course, and essentially gives a history of revolutions throughout Persian history. The thesis of the book essentially works in the traditional role of religious figures in controlling the market price through either appeasing or firing up the common man/devotee. The revolution is then put in the context of marketplace revolts, and religiously backed political movements. It is one interesting perspective on what seemed to be an extreme and unprecedented break with the past."
