This study examines the heterogeneous effects of financial development, the energy trilemma index, and economic complexity on economic growth in N11 countries during 2000–2023. Using the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR), the analysis captures how these factors affect different points of the growth distribution. The Pesaran slope homogeneity test rejected coefficient homogeneity, validating the MMQR approach. To ensure robustness for average effects, additional estimations were conducted using Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE), Driscoll-Kraay, and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS). Results from MMQR indicate substantial heterogeneity: financial development and urbanization positively and significantly affect growth across most quantiles, though the impact of urbanization slightly weakens at higher quantiles. Renewable energy consumption, the energy trilemma index, and economic complexity show stronger positive effects in the lower and middle quantiles, whereas foreign direct investment becomes more influential in higher quantiles. Robustness checks confirm the general positive and significant influence of all variables on growth. The findings highlight the importance of tailored policy approaches: countries with lower growth should prioritize improving the energy trilemma, enhancing economic complexity, and expanding renewable energy, while those with higher growth should focus on attracting foreign investment and strengthening financial systems. These insights underscore the need for differentiated growth strategies aligned with each country’s position in the growth distribution.

The present study has investigated the correlation of volatility between stock, oil and gas markets in Iran and its impact on the country's economic growth. In this regard, the method of constant conditional correlation analysis (CCC) of the autoregressive model conditional on heterogeneity of multivariate generalized variances (MGARCH) has been used. The data of this study have been collected and used quarterly in the period 2004-2023.The results show that volatility in all markets is dependent on the previous period's shocks in the same market, in other words, the self-effects in all markets are statistically significant.The results indicate that oil market shocks significantly increase stock market volatility. Conversely, stock market shock is contagious to oil market volatility. Also, stock market and oil market volatility are contagious to the gas market. The results showed that stock market shocks reduce economic growth volatility and oil market shocks increase economic growth volatility in Iran. Despite the existence of spillovers between markets, there are no spillover effects of volatility between these markets, such that volatility in one market does not affect volatility in other markets

Economic uncertainty is a major challenge in economic policymaking and economic growth in Iran. In uncertain conditions, investors may be inclined to transfer their capital to other countries, which can lead to a decrease in the money supply and, as a result, a decrease in economic growth. The aim of the present study was to study the effect of uncertainty on economic growth and monetary policies in Iran. In order to study the effect of uncertainty on the efficiency of monetary policy and economic growth, the interaction vector autoregression (IVAR) methodology used by Astwain et al. (2017: 62) was used. The results of the study showed that economic uncertainty significantly affects monetary policies and economic growth in Iran. To reduce the negative effects of economic uncertainty, there is a need for coherent policy planning and the creation of public trust. In particular, the government and economic policymakers should seek solutions that will gain investor confidence and provide the necessary conditions for sustainable economic growth. This paper can also be used as a theoretical basis for future research on the impact of economic uncertainty on monetary policies and economic growth in similar countries.

Achieving economic growth and development is one of the most important concerns of any economic system. A developed financial system is considered one of the most important requirements for achieving sustainable economic growth and development; therefore, considering limited resources, financing investments, allocating and directing resources towards productive sectors and activities, and on the other hand, the necessity of increasing productivity and optimal use of production factors in order to achieve maximum economic growth efficiency and increase competitiveness in order to improve economic performance, is very important. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of credit and productivity on the growth of value added of Iran's economic sectors by using seasonal time series data and using the generalized factor vector autovariance (FAVAR) approach in the time period q41402-q11391. According to the results of the study, the response of value added growth of economic sectors to credit and productivity shocks is not uniformly distributed in terms of timing and magnitude; In a way, the industrial sector has been more sensitive to credit and machinery capital formation, the agricultural sector to productivity, and the services sector to the exchange rate in a sectoral comparison.

the present study evaluates the mediating and interactive role of governance in the debt-economic growth relationship in a selection of countries in the world. For this purpose, the selected countries are divided into four groups: 1- Countries with high debt and high governance; 2- Countries with low debt and high governance; 3- Countries with low debt and low governance and 4- Countries with high debt and low governance are categorized and the models considered are estimated with Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag regression model, during the period 2002-2023. The results of the model estimation related to the effect of debt (along with variables such as investment, degree of trade play, labor force participation rate, inflation rate) on economic growth indicate that in the short term in all four groups of countries, debt has caused a decrease in economic growth, but in the long term, it has only increased economic growth in countries with high governance. Also, when the effect of good governance along with government debt has been interactively fitted on economic growth, it has reduced the negative effect of debt or increased its long-term positive effect in all groups of countries. Based on the research findings, it can be argued that governance is a variable affecting the relationship between debt and growth;

In recent decades, developing countries, due to severe backwardness and haste to achieve higher economic growth and development, have faced wider and more dangerous environmental crises and problems. In this study, the effect of economic growth on environmental quality in selected developing countries is examined using the GMM method over the period 2010 to 2024. The results showed that economic growth has a positive effect on trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions have a negative effect on foreign trade. On the other hand, the variables of economic growth and trade openness have a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, appropriate policies for environmental protection along with economic growth policies and trade expansion can lead to improvement in environmental quality in addition to economic growth. Given the confirmation of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) in the present study, the key regulatory and policy-making role of governments in developing countries is very important in maintaining the public health of the population and achieving the global sustainable development goals. Also, given the unfavorable economic conditions in Iran, it unfortunately seems that economic policymakers in this country not only completely prioritize achieving higher economic growth over managing environmental pollutants and protecting natural resources; they have also completely forgotten the imposition of supplementary regulations (incentives, carbon taxes, etc.) on the entry of foreign capital and even the government's supervisory and policy-making function in implementing a green economy.

The relationship between economic growth, trade openness of the economy and the quality of the environment in developing countries is one of the most important topics in the economic literature and in recent years has been one of the challenges for countries in terms of economic growth policies and trade expansion. In this study, this relationship is examined in developing countries, including 27 countries and Iran during the years 2000 to 2020 using the GMM method. The results of the aggregate test indicate the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between the variables. According to the results of the estimate, the variables of trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions have a positive effect on economic growth. Carbon dioxide has a negative effect on foreign trade. On the other hand, the variables of economic growth and trade openness have a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, appropriate policies to protect the environment, along with policies of economic growth and trade expansion, in addition to economic growth can lead to improved environmental quality.

The aim of this study is to compare the potential asymmetric effects of crude oil price fluctuations on real GDP growth in two neighboring countries (Iran and Iraq). In this study, deviation from the average is considered as crude oil price fluctuations, and to estimate the long-term and short-term asymmetric effects of crude oil price fluctuations on the economic growth of two oil-exporting countries (Iran and Iraq) with two models, one and two, the approach of the autoregressive model with non-linear distribution Lags (NARDL) and the annual data of 1990-2022 were used. Asymmetric analysis provides significant results regarding the difference in economic growth responses to positive and negative crude oil price shocks. In the case of Iran, the response of real GDP to a positive oil shock is larger than to a negative oil shock in the long run. The results showed that although the increase in the price of oil in the short term increases the economic growth of Iran, the increase in the price of oil in the long term reduces the real growth of Iran. In addition, the negative shock of oil in the short and long term will reduce Iran's economic growth. On the other hand, the positive oil shock increases Iraq's economic growth in the short term, while it does not have a significant effect on Iraq's real GDP in the long term. The empirical findings of this study provide important policy implications for policymakers and officials in Iran and Iraq regarding sustainable economic growth.

Income distribution inequality is one of the challenges and problems of every economy. If the inequality of income distribution increases sharply, social discontent will be fueled and the risk of social and political unrest will increase sharply. Considering the importance of the relationship between economic growth and inequality of income distribution and the possibility of differences in this relationship in different countries, this research examines the relationship between economic growth and inequality of income distribution in developed and developing countries and transition economies with the Panel data method reviewed in the period from 2003 to 2019. The findings of the research indicate that in developed countries the Kuznets U-shaped inverted curve has not been confirmed, but it has been confirmed in developing countries. Also, in transitioning economies, the relationship between economic growth and income distribution inequality is not secondary, but linear and inverse. The results of this study can be used in planning and making decisions for the distribution of income among different countries based on the degree of development and forecasting their economic growth.

The positive role of financial market development in reducing the effect of natural resources curse on the economic growth of countries is determined when the development of the financial sector in a country can allocate the income from natural resources to development and capital projects and finally, lead to economic growth. Therefore, in this study, the effect of oil revenue governance on the economic growth of selected OPEC member countries was investigated, with an emphasis on the development of the banking sector, using the PVAR GMM method. For this purpose, the required data was gathered from the Global Financial Development Database (GFDD), World Development Indicators (WDI), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the database of selected OPEC member countries (Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Venezuela, Nigeria, Algeria, UAE, and Libya) from 2003 to 2022, and STATA software was used to analyze the data. Results showed that the governance indicators of oil revenues (public and private investment share of oil revenues) and banking sector development indicators have a positive effect on economic growth. Also, oil revenues have had a significant positive effect on economic growth, but with the increase in growth of oil revenues, economic growth has decreased, indicating the existence of a curse of natural resources or Dutch disease in the countries under study. Finally, the indicators of banking sector development strengthen the positive effect of governance indicators of oil revenues on economic growth and thus reduce the negative effects of natural resources curse in mentioned countries.

Poverty is one of the oldest and even the most important problems of human societies, which affects various aspects of individual and social life. Due to the multi-dimensional nature of this phenomenon, dealing with the factors affecting it has always been one of the challenging issues in economic discussions and solving this problem is one of the important goals that are considered in all of the economic planning. Considering the guidelines of Islam regarding to the economic welfare and poverty alleviation of the society, the lack of a study that examines the effect of various variables on the capability poverty index in Muslim countries is noticeable. Moreover, the studies conducted on other countries are along with contradictions in their findings, which doubles the necessity of investigating this issue. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of factors affecting capability poverty in the selected Muslim countries known as the D8 group relying on the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) method during the period of 1997-2021. Results show the negative and significant effect of globalization on capability poverty in the D8 countries during the covered period, such that for each unit increase in the globalization index, capability poverty decreases by 1.8%, which indicates a relative improvement in the welfare of these countries. Likewise, the impact of economic growth on capability poverty is positive, so that a one percent increases in economic growth leads to an increase in capability poverty by 0.21 percent. Such finding can be due to not utilization of the benefits of growth to improve welfare infrastructure in the mentioned countries. In addition, the effect of control variables such as inflation and geographical distribution of the population has also been evaluated positively on capability poverty. Based on the findings of the current study, it is recommended to adopt inflation control programs and moving towards the promotion of globalization indicators in the economies of the D8 group.

In this article examines the relationship between justice from the Islamic perspective and economic growth. In the present study seeks to consider the indexes of justice in the stage of distribution before production and distribution after production based on the approach of martyr ayatollah Mohammad Baqir sadr and other Islamic economists of justice and has been investigated the relationship between justice and growth in two models. Results of estimating the first model using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) over 1978-2019 reveals that the physical quality of life index as the justice index before production and the Amartya Sen welfare index as the justice index after production leave short-term and long-term positive impacts on the growth of gross domestic product. The results of the second model using the Fully-Modified Ordinary Least Square method over 1978-2019 indicated the Amartya Sen welfare index and economic liberalization as the social justice index had a positive impact on the growth of gross domestic product. Thus, justice must be paid special attention in various stages of production so that it can impact the improvement of growth, and the establishment and maintenance of economic and social justice can play a significant part in the increase of GDP and sustainable development.

Energy, as one of the most important factors of production, plays a crucial role in the economic growth of countries, but in today's world, addressing economic growth issues without considering the aspects of sustainable development and intergenerational consequences is impossible. Considering the importance and differences of renewable and non-renewable energies in the sustainable development of countries, the main purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between economic growth and the consumption of renewable and non-renewable energies in the D8 and G7 countries. Using two causality approaches, Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) and Konya (2006), this study investigates the relationship between these variables over the period from 2000 to 2022. The findings of this study reveal a unidirectional causality from GDP to renewable energy consumption in the D8 countries. Additionally, no causal relationship is observed between non-renewable energy consumption and GDP in these countries. In other words, in the D8 countries, economic growth is not influenced by energy consumption; however, as economic growth increases, these countries tend to adopt renewable energy sources. On the other hand, in the G7 countries that are more developed, the results indicate a unidirectional causal relationship from the consumption of renewable energy to GDP. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate a unidirectional causality from domestic gross production to non-renewable energy consumption. Hence, in the G7 countries, economic growth is influenced by the consumption of renewable energy and, in turn, impacts the consumption of non-renewable energy.

Recent studies on complex networks in international trade show the number of partners; trade intensity, indirect trade connections and the central position of each partner in the trade network have significant effects on economic growth. The network analysis approach in investigating the effect of trade on economic growth, unlike conventional methods, can identify and measure indirect trade relations (intermediary countries in trade) in international interactions. This research aims to investigate world trade centrality indicators’ effects on economic growth using panel data of 42 chosen countries of Asia and CIS, in two steps. At first, the weighted directional matrices of trade were made and then the centrality indices of the countries were calculated for the selected years according to a complex network approach. Then the effect of the aforementioned indices as an explanatory variable of trade on economic growth has been investigated, and these were compared with the effect of the trade openness ind
ex.The results of the research show that compared to the conventional indicator of the trade openness index, the centrality indicators of the world trade network show a better explanation of economic growth while having more effect. Among these, the closeness centrality (due to having a core role in the network and the entanglement of trade relations) and the eigenvector centrality (due to establishing relationships with countries that are connected with important partners in the network) have more effects on economic growth.

One of the characteristics of developed countries is the existence of efficient markets and financial institutions, which, while playing an important role in the economy of these countries, are also the basis for the economic growth and development of these countries. Today, in different countries, many indicators are prepared by different statistical and scientific authorities such as government organizations, international organizations, universities and other centers in different fields and are made available to the public. Investigating the economic trends of countries helps traders. In this research, we have examined the impact of macro indicators on Iran's economic growth. The results show that the management of sanctions conditions and the consistent implementation of the resistance economy strategy during the beginning of the sixth plan strengthened the mentioned index, so that the average NSED has increased to the level between the second and third plans. According to the results of the Sensitivity analysis, the fourth and third plans have been distinguished as the most successful development programs, and the fifth and first programs with the weakest performance.

One of the most important lessons of the global financial crisis in 2008 was the importance of maintaining financial stability and systematic risk containment. At the same time, most developing economies are seeking to increase the inclusiveness of their financial systems. Financial inclusion is critical to inclusive growth and provides policy solutions to remove barriers that exclude people from financial markets. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of financial inclusion and the size of the shadow economy on the economic growth in MENA countries during the period of 2008-2018. The results of spatial panel model estimation show that financial inclusion has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. This means that financial inclusion is an effective tool in strengthening rapid economic growth. The positive relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth shows that increasing banking penetration, availability of banking centers and geographic penetration can strengthen economic growth in the long run. Also, in the studied economies, the size of the shadow economy has a significant negative effect on economic growth, and this shows that the shadow economy is an obstacle to economic development.

In recent decades, economic growth along with environmental protection is important issue facing most economic societies. On the other hand, with the increase of new technologies and the trade openness, the effect of changing new and extensive structures on the environment has become very important. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of economic complexity and trade openness on the ecological footprint (as an indicator of environmental degradation). For this purpose, the data of 18 developing countries in Asia during the study period from 1990 to 2021 have been used with the Panel-Quantile approach. In addition, the variables of GDP per capita, globalization and financial development were considered as control variables. The results of this study show that the increase in economic complexity in different quantiles reports different results, so that with a one percent increase in economic complexity in the 10th quantile, the ecological footprint has decreased by more than one percent, but an increase in economic complexity in the 50th quantile has caused the deterioration of the quality of the environment. The results show that the increase in trade in all quantiles has helped to improve the environment. Moreover, with increasing globalization and financial development, the ecological footprint has increased in all quantiles. In addition, the results of this study indicate that the increase in per capita income has reported different results in different quantiles. The results of this study provide important policy implications for environmental improvement in developing countries in Asia.

Economic complexity is one of the criteria for measuring the knowledge-based economy of a country. Several studies have shown that improving the economic complexity index leads to sustainable economic growth and improved welfare. Therefore, policy makers tend to place the development and progress of the country in the path of knowledge-based economy and production of complex products. But the channel of influence of complexity on the economy of a country is questionable. Identifying this channel can lead to the focus of development policies. The hypothesis investigated in this research is the effectiveness of economic complexity on the field of factory activities. In the literature review, it was found that the relationship between these two variables is not predetermined. To test the hypothesis, a statistical sample including 46 countries has been selected for a period of 31 years ending in 2020. The PMG model has been used for data processing. The result of the estimation of the model shows that the increase in the added value of factory industries is one of the consequences of the improvement of economic complexity. This finding can help to set development policies.

Environmental pollution is a serious threat to the sustainable development of Middle East countries, especially Iran. Therefore, in this article was analyzed the decoupling relationship between CO2 emissions energy-related and economic growth in 6 Middle East countries in period 1990-2019. First, CO2 emissions driving mechanisms were quantified using Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, and then decomposed into factors of CO2 emission coefficient, energy intensity, economic activity and population. The decoupling state findings using the Tapio model show that population and economic activities factors were main drivers of CO2 emissions in these countries. The results of decoupling elasticity showed that Iran was in a weak decoupling state in period of 1990-1999 and 2015-2019; It means the simultaneous increase of economic growth and carbon emissions, of course, by faster economic growth; Iran had also an expansive coupling state in period of 2000-2014, which indicates that CO2 emissions increase along economic growth. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have reached an ideal situation in recent years. These countries have moved from a negative decoupling and expansive coupling state to a strong decoupling state, where economic growth has been accompanied by a reduction in carbon emissions. The Kuwait and Turkey have been in weak decoupling and negative expansive decoupling states in the last 3 decades, in which economic growth was accompanied by an increase in carbon emissions. At the beginning, the Egypt has changed to a weak decoupling state and then moved to an expansive negative decoupling state.

Financial decentralization is a multi-dimensional process in which some powers are transferred from the central government to the governors, and the most important thing is, the return of all the revenues of each province to the same province. One of the effects of financial decentralization is economic growth. Economic growth is measured through the difference in GDP. Economic growth in any country shows the economic and productive performance of each province, and the increase in the production of each province leads to the economic growth of the entire country. This study was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between economic growth and financial decentralization in the provinces of Iran, in which three cities and towns were selected as samples from each province. The technique used in this research is panel data. In this method, the data have time series and cross-sectional characteristics, consist of several dimensions and cover several periods. The time period of the research is 2018 to 2021. The equations related to the independent and dependent variables of this research are taken from the research model of Suyanto (2009), Langudi (2006) and Khosini (2006). The results of the research show that the increase in financial decentralization and the return of revenues from each province to the same province and even grants from the central government have a significant positive effect on economic growth. In addition, the research model shows that financial decentralization can improve public spending, reduce the population of low-income people, and ultimately improve the human capital index of provinces.

Today, one of the most important economic goals of the countries of the world is to create the necessary grounds for economic growth and development, and the business environment is one of the main strategies to achieve this. The business environment is a political, institutional and behavioral environment that affects the efficiency and risks associated with economic activities and investments. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study of factors affecting the economic growth of Group D8.In the current study, the causative link among gross domestic product (GDP) annual growth rate (GDPr), corruption perceptions index (CPI), foreign direct investments (FDI) and ease of doing business index (DB) was empirically tested from 2005 to 2020 by using a panel data of D-8 Group comprise of 8 country include Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey. The PMG panel ARDL, heterogeneity, and cross-sectional dependence, used to investigate the long and short-term dynamic relationships. Findings from the Pesaran-Yamagata homogeneity test, Pesaran CD test, CIPS and ADF Fisher Chi-square (ADF Fisher) panel unit root tests and Kao panel cointegration test, indicated the panel time series data has heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, analyzed variables are stationary and cointegrated respectively. According to the panel ARDL estimation, the error-correction model coefficient (ECM) is negative and statistically significant for all examined countries. The value coefficient of error term, indicate that the most of deviation of long-term equilibrium, corrected in the first year. The panel causality analysis results confirm, the bidirectional causality between GDPr and FDI; GDPr and DB; CPI and DB. In addition, the unilateral causality relationship found between CPI and GDPr, DB and FDI.

The interaction effect between financial development, air pollution and economic growth is on of the main issues in the macroeconomics literature and has been considered empirically from the view of economics researcher. Moreover, importance of renewable energy in economic growth, reducing environmental pollution and the role of financial resources on renewable energy projects express the importance of financial development in the development of renewable energy. This paper examines the nexus between clean energy consumption, financial development and economic growth in a group of MENA countries during 1995-2018. For this purpose, the (GMM) method has been utilized for model estimation. The results show that increasing clean energy, carbon dioxide emissions and increasing foreign direct investment have boosted economic growth in the countries studied. Also, despite the positive impact of financial development on clean energy consumption, it has not been able to reduce pollution. In order to expand investment in renewable energy, projects related to this sector should have been easier and more accessible to large and basic investors. Proper financial structure can lead to an increase in the volume of investment and at the same time reduce costs. On the other hand, it should be noted that targeting for projects can play a facilitating role and lead to investment maturity. Access to effective and appropriate tools to reduce risk for private sector investment and the use of tools such as guaranteed purchase, standardized portfolio of renewable energy, quota policies and low-cost lending for renewable energy projects will be able to meet the challenges overcome existing problems and reduce project risks to a great extent.

One of the most important issues in macroeconomic management is the analysis of factors affecting economic growth. This research has measured the effect of financial development on Iran's economic growth and test Patrick's hypothesis in the period of 1978-2019. Main research questions include; 1) What variables are effective in Iran's financial development index, together with their weighting factor, and does financial development in Iran bank-oriented or stock market-oriented? 2) What is the short-term and long-term effect of the financial development index on Iran's economic growth and the speed of adjustment to the long-term relationship? 3) Is the causal relationship between Iran's financial development and economic growth demand-oriented or supply-oriented? Firstly, comprehensive financial development index was created by using four variables, including the volume of liquidity, bank credits allocated to the private sector, the value of capital market transactions, and the volume of bank deposits using the Factor Analysis Method. Then the short-term and long-term relationship was calculated using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, followed by employing the Granger Causality Test to examine Patrick's hypothesis for the cause-and-effect relationship between financial development and economic growth in Iran. Finally, using the Error Correction Model, the speed of adjustment from the short-run equilibrium to the long-run equilibrium state was evaluated. The results show that the financial development index has a positive relationship with economic growth in the short and long term. Patrick's hypothesis test also confirms only the demand-driven management view which confirms causality from economic growth to financial development.

Today, taxes play an important role in the economic growth and development of countries by maintaining the existence of the government and financing social programs and infrastructure investment. Also, taxation helps to allocate resources, redistribute income and correct negative externalities as well as support domestic industries. Therefore, tax evasion reduces the role of tax effectiveness in the mentioned cases. The relevance of the subject of the study is evident from the fact that every year an important part of financial income is lost through the activities of financial planning, financial evasion and tax evasion carried out by the private sector. The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between tax evasion and economic growth during the period of 2011-2020 Iran. For this purpose, seasonal data from Denton's method and estimated tax evasion data have been used. In this study, in the form of a three-part model, the effect of extra-fiscal on economic growth has been investigated using vector autoregression model with distributional lag (ARDL). The results show that in the short term, in the economic growth model, the coefficient of tax evasion, employment rate, foreign investment and oil income variables are negative. However, in the long run, the impact of tax evasion, employment rate, oil revenue and average tax burden on economic growth are positive. Despite the fact that the coefficient of foreign investment in the long run is not significant.

The focus of the development policies of the capitalist economy on axial growth has seriously influenced the various approaches of spiritualism; Apart from the initial motivations for controlling the dangers of violent desires in promoting capitalist thought, the spread of emerging spiritualities, as well as the ever-increasing changes in the conceptual structure of spirituality, provided a good platform for turning spirituality an important tool for capitalist goals. Among these, the nature and manner of the interrelationships between spirituality and economic growth, as well as how they affect each other, are essential elements for understanding and analyzing the capitalist economy. In this article, by examining and analyzing the documents related to spiritualist approaches in the capitalist literature, the relations between them as well as the effect of spirituality and economic growth were explained. Accordingly, it became clear that growth-oriented policies in the capitalist literature, on the one hand, by abusing the personalized concepts of spirituality, provide the necessary basis for the commodification of spiritual elements and pursue human spiritual excellence through profit-oriented path. The pursuit of ostentatious consumption and the use of wealth to demonstrate power and superiority over the lower classes has turned capital not as a means of promoting social spirituality but as a means of domination. The results show that each of the elements of spirituality and growth independently exert significant effects on each other
