| Shrnutí: | This paper aims at explaining how Iranian worker families have been gradually trapped in a vicious circle with regard to their living conditions since the early 1990s. It hypothesizes that this vicious circle stems mainly from the juxtaposition of specific worker-employer class relations with peculiar intra-class relations between the productive bourgeoisie and its parasitic counterparts in the ruling social and political class (i.e. unproductive capital, the ideological state apparatus, commercial capital, and agents of capital flight). It shows that the domination of employers over workers has led to the deterioration of worker families’ living conditions. This deterioration was to be compensated for by a long-run trickle-down effect, which has been rendered dysfunctional by the domination of the ruling class over the productive bourgeoisie, thus further deteriorating worker families’ living conditions. |
