Beskrivelse

Tells two intertwined stories: how, in early twentieth-century Iran, an emerging middle class used scientific knowledge as its cultural and economic capital, and how, along with the state, it employed biomedical sciences to tackle presumably modern problems like the stress of everyday life, people's defective willpower and demographic stagnation.
