Each person and group proposed a specific model in the initiation of the crises of Iranian society. Aliakbar Dawar thoughts about this matter. The basic question is that what was his desirable pattern for devolpement. The hypothesis of this article is that the dominant model in the Dawar thought was the model of economic reform. The outcomes of this research shows that, despite of the majority of the intellectuals during this Era, Dawar did not have an ethical perception of modernism. He believed that the predomonency of West is due to its economical and industrial excellence. Therefore, he insisted that the political and cultural reforms are both useless. Dawar believed that the economical reforms are prior to both political and cultural reforms. Through this belief, he tended to enlighted despotism. Because he believed that those reforms are applicable under the governing of a dominant regime. The outcome of such a belief, was a superficial perception of modernism and modernization. Dawar, without paying attention to fundament and requirements of Western Civilization, tried to extricate Iranian society from retrogradation by either some minor economical reforms and government deformation. Adoption of this policy led to incomplete and primitive modernization. The kind of modernization that was not able to give an effective response to Iran's problems at that moment.
