| Abstract Corruption undermines the confidence of investors, creates uncertainty and higher cost in production, and ruins the confidence among government, society and producers. The decreasing investment due to corruption hinders economic progress and causes social problems. Iran's economy in the pre- and post-revolution era has experienced corruption, and all individuals responsible for it is often linked with authority in the country even though this linkage cannot merely be a necessary and sufficient condition for this phenomenon.

This paper uses library and documentary data, employs descriptive-analytical method , and indicates that corruption, besides the economy, influences other social, cultural and political areas. In the end paper, suggestions are provided. |
