(Background) Therefore, the present article seeks to answer this question that: By comparing political economy of the 1950s and resistance economy of the 2010s which of the two kinds of economies would be effective in economic sanctions of West?

(Hypothesis) The article aims at presenting the best method for the transition stage from economic sanction. (Objective) Reaching the elements and indices as well as the features of these two kinds of discourse and analyzing them by using a comparative method reveals their efficiency and inefficiency. (Methodology) The impact of religious and evolutionary teachings and presenting the political guidelines of religious leaders in efficiency of resistance against sanctions of the imperialist system and development of the country and failure of the enemy are from the findings of the present article.
