An Important Book by Barrington Moore Translated by Hossein Bashirieh

According to Khabaronline News Agency, Dr. Ahmad Bostani wrote on his channel:

“Among the translations published by the University Publishing Center in recent years, I consider the book ‘Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy’ by Barrington Moore, translated by Dr. Hossein Bashirieh, to be an important book. I read this book as a textbook with Dr. Bashirieh himself and in class, and I greatly enjoyed reading it. The book is an important work in the field of classic political sociology, analyzing the emergence of democracy, fascism, and communism through issues related to landowners and peasants. This book is also an important work in comparative politics because the author has worked on dozens of countries and studied specific cases, which requires statistical work and attention to detail, and Moore has done this job very well. Another advantage of the book is its brilliant analysis from a sociological and political science perspective. In fact, the author has been able to meaningfully put these data together and achieve significant results.”
