The book is about the rise of Iran Auto: one of the world's largest automobile industries that few people know anything about.

Recenzje

'Possibilities for industrialization in a globalized world and the range of economic options open to Islamic regimes must both be re-imagined as a result of this carefully researched, empirically grounded, analytically thoughtful book. Mehri explodes accepted stereotypes and reveals new possibilities for connection between nationalist economic regimes and transnational corporations. His analysis of the growth of Iran's auto industry should be required reading for anyone interested in twenty-first century economic development in the Global South.'
