Abstract

At the beginning of 2014, resistance economy's policies were declared by supreme leader of Islamic Republic of Iran. Because of its importance, this article aims to explore the systemic aspects of "Economy of Resistance". For this purpose, we firstly study the "Economy of Resistance" from economic systems' point of view in order to explain its nature and significance. Regarding the Islamic character of the policies of "Economy of Resistance" confirmed repeatedly by his Excellency, this article proposes three theories of "the Right of Ma'ash" (subsistence); "the Justice in Production"; and "Islamic Market" as its foundations and tries to explain its systemic characteristics according to Islamic economic system. It seems possible to explain the principles extracted out of these policies (policies of Economy of Resistance) in the framework outlined by aforementioned theories in Islamic Economics. Finally this article concludes the characteristics of "Economy of Resistance" as justice and Islamic based Economics that could not be satisfied by neoclassic economics.
