tārīkh-i ijtimā'ī-yi īrān (jild-i avval): Persiska (Farsi) 1393

The life history of the Iranian people, that is, the description of the social, economic, political, intellectual, and artistic life of Iranians, has not been researched by scientific methods, and historians and experts have not taken an effective step in compiling the life history of the majority of the people of this land. According to historical books and works, until the emergence of the new civilization and the growth of democratic ideas, almost the majority of Iranian and foreign historians did not pay attention to the social and economic conditions of the mass of people. Their goal was to secure individual life and to achieve this goal, they put their intellect and wisdom at the disposal of the lord of power and did not pay attention to the characteristics of the life of the majority of people - who form the productive and active class of the society. But this situation and this way of thinking did not last; From about two centuries ago, as a result of the change in the economic and social situation and the growth of science and ideas, there were huge and unprecedented changes in all aspects of life of the Western nations. With the rapid progress of science and technology, the industrial revolution began, and with the creation of motorized devices, the old workshops and small manual establishments gave way to huge factories, and gradually instead of dozens of workers who were working in small industrial establishments and organizations with primitive tools. Hundreds of thousands of workers worked in large industrial factories, and the old trade unions gave way to huge trade unions.
