Perhaps one of the most significant elements in Iran’s stagnation is that the Revolutionary Guards control a large portion of the economy, and are beyond the reach of government regulation. In order to manage the economic crisis successfully, any president must not only shift economic policy, but also amass enough political power to be able to thwart the intervention of the Revolutionary Guards and other organizations in economic policy-making.
也许导致伊朗停滞的最重要的因素之一就是革命卫队控制了大部分经济，不受政府管理。为了成功地应对经济危机，任何一位总统必须不单改变经济政策，而且还要聚集足够的政治权力，以便能够阻止革命卫队和其他组织对经济政策的制定进行干涉。
