Economics in Today’s World

This post is also available in: Persian

The challenges of today's world from the window of understanding political economy

About the course:

Perhaps we have not paid much attention to the fact that from the moment we wake up and start the day until the time we go to sleep at the end of the day, all of our lives are somehow affected by the economy. We hear the word economy many times throughout the day and we deal with money, buying and selling, and prices, but we don't know the economy properly and we don't know exactly how it affects our lives and what kind of relationship it has with us, our society, and the world we live in. This free-of-charge class, in a short period, gives you the opportunity to better understand the concept of economics, and enables you to analyze it to an acceptable level.
