Works
editIn his book The Political Economy of Predation (2016), which stands at the crossroad of Public Choice and New institutional Economics, Vahabi relies on the concept of predation to revisit the analysis of the genesis of the state, states conflict and the transition from autocracy to democracy.[6]
His subsequent work, Destructive Coordination, Anfal and Islamic Political Capitalism: A New Reading of Contemporary Iran (2023), is a study of Islamic public finance that describes how ideology and politics enable institutions to emerge that contribute to perpetual crises. With focus on Iran, and a specific institution, Anfal.[7]
