Abstract

The collapse of Safavid and great Indian Mongolian governments was due to some complex elements and it cannot be dependent on one or some special reasons. However, it seems that the element of economy is of determining role in this regard. This writing has investigated the economic reasons of this failure and it has endeavored to achieve the similar and dissimilar cases. The most important and related economic reasons in the collapse of the two governments can be stated in the issues such as the increase of excessive taxes, the collapse of internal commerce, no consideration of the people’ living condition and dissatisfaction of farmers and villagers, extravagant expenses, and finally, the decrease of coin value and the increase of goods’ price especially public provisions. It is worth noting that the substituted tradition in India as well as the change of lands into special ones in Iran is regarded as the special elements of collapse of the two governments.
