If resistive economy studies want to solve our country's practical problems, they should at least have some properties: First, they must have strong theoretical foundations, second, they must provide solutions based on the country's challenges, third, each one must focuses on a particular area, and finally, it should be done by professional researchers in this study area. This paper reviews 76 scientific articles in the field of resistive economy in eight axes. Findings include: Major focus on the Leadership statements, Lack of attention to key problems of Iran’s economy, Lack of operational solutions, Lack of holistic approach, Lack of case studies, Shallow economic performance evaluation studies, Lack of specialized writers and ultimately Lack of comprehensive understanding of resistive economy. In short, it seems that content analysis research has overtaken economic theories and economy realities. The present study intended to promote the discourse of resistive economics by using the four epistemological sources of Islamic knowledge, the intellectual system of leadership, economic knowledge, and practical experience at the same time. Monitoring the resistive economy studies is a very important factor in promoting the concept of resistive economy. Finally, it is proposed to help build a discourse to measure resistive economy in the country.

A business environment refers to the factors affecting the performance of enterprises the managers or owners of which cannot change or improve them. The book “Improving the Business Environment and the Realization of Resistive Economy” is a book whose author has sought to establish a relationship between the business environment and the realization of a resistive economy. To this end, the ease of doing business index was selected and attempts were made to scrutinize it using comparative tables and charts. This article is structured with format review and content review. The author's referent (business environment) has a wide range of distinct indices that have important differences, and not all of these cases and referents can be considered similar and identical, but the author only refers to one of the indices, which is an important index. Considering the fact that the book pursues an excellent goal, it adds a concise explanation of the relationship between the business environment and the resistive economy to the richness of the work, and it is expected that the author pays attention to the points raised in subsequent editions to enhance the quality of the work.

One of the most important components of implementing resistive economy is to pay special attention to the production of primary commodities and fundamental products based on knowledge-based economy. In order to realize the resistive economy policies in Iran, there is a need to move from low-tech level to high- tech level productions. Business development in the sophisticated exports requires the development of technical and institutional capabilities. Hence, the present study aims to investigate and introduce the mechanisms of production of complex and sophisticated commodities in Iran according to the capability approach. After reviewing the research literature, using the complexity atlas, proposed by Hausmann and Hidalgo (2013), Iran’s position in world complex products has been analyzed. Results show that Iran has not been successful in producing complex commodities. Iran’s production and exports are often related to simple commodities, and like many other developing countries, Iran has suffered from acquiescence trap. Finally, policy suggestions have been made to improve the level of product complexity.
