Abstract
In its simplest form, convergence thesis predicts that per capita
income and productivity of work force is going to be converged
among different countries. However, it does not come true in reality
as the world's economy is getting multi – polarized rather than
converging. Therefore, the Simple convergence thesis has modified to
conditional convergence thesis and changed to a kind of economic
growth theory. This paper suggests all the countries meet with two
convergences: convergences of developed (Rich) countries and
developing (Poor) countries. Iran's economy seems to be converged to
developing (poor) countries. Although, the gap between per capita
incomes got increased through ١٩٧٥ – ٢٠٠٢, but through last decade
of ٢٧ years of study, it got to decrease. To converge to developed
(rich) countries, Iran should improve its social technological
potentials.
