Abstract

In the last years of Pahlavi II's rule, Iran was facing many economic challenges, among which inflation and high prices were the most important. This article examines the policies adopted by the Pahlavi government to curb these issues in the city of Mashhad. By using historical data and archival documents, an attempt has been made to provide a detailed picture of the approaches and measures adopted by the government, as well as the reactions of trade unions and marketers of Mashhad to these policies. The article also analyzes the consequences of these policies on the local economy and their impact on people's daily lives. The results show that while some of these measures temporarily managed to control prices, they could not solve economic structural problems in the long run, and in some cases they may have even led to the escalation of inflation and social discontent, and even the efforts of the struggle headquarters Despite the efforts made, it was not successful in controlling these problems.
