Abstract
The existence of financial corruption creates a problem for political systems because it plays a role in creating or deepening the gap between the political system and society, creating political dissatisfaction and revolution. However, in the etymological studies of Iran's Islamic Revolution, it is not yet clear what role and position dissatisfaction with financial corruption has in the space of causes of political dissatisfaction with the Pahlavi rule. The current research has chosen to study the slogans of this revolution to resolve this ambiguity. The question is: "According to the slogans of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, what effect and role did the phenomenon of dissatisfaction with financial corruption have in the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution?" With the method of content analysis, the result is that: in the slogans of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, dissatisfaction with financial corruption is the second cause of dissatisfaction with the government, after dissatisfaction with the political situation, and therefore a necessary condition for the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution. In their slogans, revolutionaries protested against rent, embezzlement, general form of financial corruption and smuggling. Also, the second characteristic of the political system demanded by the chanters as an alternative system to the Pahlavi rule is to be free from financial corruption.
