In This article by reviewing some of the most important Orientalist theories about Eastern societies and Theory of some Iranian theorists who have attempted to provide an account of Iran's economic and political history, we show that although these theories have relatively high explanatory power, And there is a great deal of evidence in Iranian society to support these theories, But because of their metanarrative nature and influencing by the idea of European orientation, they ignore Many of the historical details that have key role to understand some periods of Iranian history and Economic and political history of some parts of Iran, Therefore, their claims cannot be extended to all historical periods and all regions of Iran. For this purpose, while reviewing the economic and political history of Yazd, As one of the central plateau areas of Iran, We highlight Some features of the city's economic and political history are incompatible with these metanarratives and can be described as "exception to the rule".
