1) Last week the new government ended the free market in steel which was established a few years back. The free metal market had ended the rent of steel merchants in Bazar but finally they got the rent back through the political lobby. As usual there was no serious objection from politicians or academic scholars. Please take a look at the article by Mr. Janansefat in Donyaye eqtesad.
2) Do not miss the interview with Prof. Milton Friedman in Donyaye eqtesad. Thanks to Dr. Khayrkhahan who has translated his book to Farsi (Freedom of choice). Also take a look at his interview with Charlie Rose.
3) Because of the problems with Farsi editor I switch to English for a while.
