Resource Type: Book
Industrial workers in Iran played a major role in the overthrow of the Shah. This account of the shuras, or factory councils, they set up throws new light on the Shah's defeat, and the consequent revolutionary impulses Ayatollah Khomeini subsequently crushed so ruthlessly. This and other Third World examples show how uneven capitalist development can create conditions conducive to struggles for workers' control in advanced as well as in backward economies.
