This is something I had to learn about later, it is never brought up in the HS classroom. Iran did have a fledging democracy in the 1950's. Read about Eisenhower and Iran. It was our CIA that overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran and restored complete power in the Monarch, the Shaw. This occurred in the 1950's because the democratic government wanted to nationalize their oil company's and protect their resources. Iran's natural resources belong to the Iranian people. I believe because of this, the USA sponsored Coup in Iran that gave rise to the extremism of the Ayatollah's. Carter never had a chance. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/19/eisenhower-green-lights-coup-in-iran-aug-19-1953-788012
And the French Government "kindly" protected Khomeini while he was awaiting power in exile in France! Winston Chuchill helped the US in their "endeavours". The Prime Minister, Mossadegh's daughter was at the time working as an Au Pair at my Great Aunt's place in London!
There was a book about this type of world order? Where corporations and business tells govt and militaries what to do. I’m sorry I can not remember right now the book and author who described this in the 30s or 40’s?
