If a list of reasons for the two phenomena (1) distance of "society" from ancient books and (2) distance of "researchers" from scientific studies of manuscript books is provided and in a causal sequence, they are antecedent and consequent. (consequent) as well, the product of this conceptual arrangement will be a causal graph that shows the economy of manuscripts and related researches.
This space does not have the capacity for an extensive discussion in this regard. The specialized field of this publication is not behavioral and cultural economics. So we only point out that "the main cause of the aforementioned phenomena is the lack of economic infrastructure." An economy that, by creating several infrastructures and incentives, can be a powerful engine and generator of our historical culture and national and ethnic identity in the contemporary world.
Infrastructures such as:
Auction of manuscripts as one or more reputable institutions for evaluation, expertise, supply and purchase and sale of manuscripts and ancient heritage.
Professional institutes of higher education specialized in copywriting and research and text correction
Professional publishing houses for manuscripts and text research
and measures such as:
Creating a national market and exhibition panels for printed books according to (Facsimile) and research texts
Creating a purchase credit cycle and a value cycle for buyers (students, scholars, and graduate students)
Guaranteed purchase of works produced in the field of manuscripts
Tariff and tax incentives to protect and buy manuscripts and support its research
Tax exemptions for the creation and expansion of preservation units and the collection of old books
Scientific and administrative incentives for researchers in this field in the educational, administrative, employment and judicial system of the country Identifying manuscript research centers as knowledge-based collections (interdisciplinary)
Budgetary measures such as allocating a share of the research budget of executive bodies to support this field
Whenever an economic and scientific approach to the cycle of production and research of manuscripts is formed in the scientific and economic decision-making centers of the country, the great capacity of the ancient heritages will serve to strengthen the cultural components and the sleeping dragon of Iranian and Islamic civilization will emerge from the reservoirs of manuscripts. Khati once again put the world under his watch.
It goes without saying that this area in the world today has become a part of the productive economy of countries with cultural reserves and if we have a correct attitude towards its luxurious products, the ability to export culture in the area of Persian language civilization and even western countries that want the luxurious goods of this area Will have. Valuing services and products based on manuscripts is an accessible matter and policy-making to achieve it is a strategic assumption on micro-based governance.
research proposal:
It would be very appropriate to study the dimensions of this view in a more detailed and accurate manner in the form of academic research in the field of economics.
