Father of Economics in Iran Passed away |
Dr. Manouchehr Farhang, who is known as
father of economics in Iran, passed away. He spared no effort and research for
promotion of economics in the Iranian society up to his very death.
He has been described as a courageous and
indefatigable master of economics whose intrepidity in defending science and
scholars was exemplar.
I was his student in 1967 exactly 14 years
before I started publishing Iran International magazine. He was a staunch
supporter of globalization of the Iranian economy.
He maintained that in view of several
thousand years of cultural and civilizational background as well as having
intelligent and hardworking people, Iran should play its international role
along with other nations.
As a senior economic advisor of our magazine
he never ceased to encourage us to continue the course we had taken.
May God bless his soul and help us tread his
path.
