Four landmark decisions over the past forty years have shaped the country's economy. In a podcast series, Pouya Nazeran examines these decisions, from price controls and interest-free banking to foreign policy and market access.

Over the past forty years, four landmark economic decisions have been made, and much of what we experience in the country's economy are the consequences of those four landmark decisions. In each podcast, we will address one landmark decision.

Why did the US withdraw from the JCPOA? Where does the problem lie? How can an agreement be reached again? Is it even beneficial? We have already seen that the JCPOA is unstable. Can the JCPOA be turned into a stable agreement by obtaining guarantees?
In this post, by discussing foreign policy, we will address the second landmark decision. Ultimately, we will see that the shortcoming of the JCPOA that caused its instability cannot be remedied by obtaining more legal concessions, such as the repeal of CAATSA, or by securing legal guarantees. To achieve a stable agreement, it must be rewritten with a different intellectual framework.

Chronic high inflation is one of the country's main challenges, and it is a consequence of fiscal indiscipline and indiscipline in the banking system.
The indiscipline of our banking system stems not from inefficient or corrupt managers but is structural. Naturally, some individuals have exploited its flaws and engage in rent-seeking. Removing them is necessary, but not sufficient.
Our banking system, instead of aiding economic growth, has become a cause of inflation and a distributor of rents. To understand the structural flaws of the banking system, we must first understand what money is, so that we can then understand what a bank is, and then recognize the requirements of a healthy and efficient banking system, which is why this post became lengthy. But ultimately, we will see that the country's banks bear almost no resemblance to banks in their conventional sense worldwide.
In recent weeks, we addressed the first and second landmark decisions of the system. Today, we address the third landmark decision, which is the implementation of the interest-free banking system. This decision did not lead to interest-free banking, but it became a justification for not utilizing global banking experiences, which led to the inefficiencies and flaws in banking. Understanding these flaws requires a deep discussion, and for this reason, this post became relatively dense and technical.

Is the recent 300-400 Toman subsidy part of an economic surgery? Are these recent price hikes due to the lack of planning by Mr. Raisi's government, or due to the influence of liberals in his government, or is there actually thought and a plan behind it?
Why is it that whenever there is talk of economic reforms, they go after basic goods and make them more expensive?
Continuing our series of discussions on the four landmark decisions of the system, today we return to the first landmark decision. We previously addressed the first landmark decision on November 13th. However, it is worthwhile to examine the government's recent economic policies from the perspective of the first landmark decision.
In the last quarter of this post, we will also go to the second landmark decision, to set the stage for the next post.

Foreign policy has two main functions: one is managing international tensions to increase the country's security, and the other is gaining access to international markets for the private sector to join the global value production chain, and developing the country's exports and imports.
Today, in the course of analyzing the importance of access to global markets, we will address several topics, including: three different long-term goals for the country, the decline of America, and also the globalization of the Yuan.
