Khalil Maleki was a unique phenomenon in the politics of twentieth-century Iran. Once in an article, I described him as ‘the odd intellectual out’, and in another, I wrote about his ‘strange politics’. While he was a committed socialist, unlike most other political forces he believed in dialogue and peaceful political activity, which virtually made him a target for political smear campaigns, although this did not save him from being put on military trial and imprisoned by the shah’s regime! These attributes summarise some of what I call his sins but there are more, and they all deserve to be mentioned briefly in this Paper. By using a political economy approach, this article investigates the issue in question.
