1:26Now PlayingOver the past decades since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Iran's economy has completely transformed to resemble what Yeganeh Torbati and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin describe as a "mafia state."
On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, Torbati, New York Times' Iran correspondent, and Sharafedin, Iran International's head of Digital, join Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal to discuss how the Iranian economy actually works and how startups and business owners have to navigate the network of various factions within political and religious leadership.
