The findings indicate that from the interviewees’ perspective, lack of attraction of foreign capital, capital flight, brain drain, lack of a national consensus on development, emphasis on ideology instead of nationalism, the existence of rentier rule, and lack of attention paid to political freedoms are considered as the most important factors affecting the failure to achieve an optimal level of production and welfare in the period after the Islamic Revolution. In addition, from the viewpoint of the experts, the high volume of liquidity, the increase in exchange rates, the instability of monetary policies, the high-interest rates, and the bankruptcy of banks are considered as the consequences of wrong monetary and price policies which affect economic growth.
