Vincent and the Grenadines before moving to the UK in 2001. He married and left Iran in 1975 and lived in Bangladesh, Canada and the Island of St. He also offers an enterprise training program for the Baha’is in Iran and also for the refugees coming to Scotland, all on a voluntary basis. He is currently a faculty member at the Wilmette Institute in US and an academic member of the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE) in Iran. He was one of the founders of Carmel High School, a Bahá’í inspired school in St. Hooshmand has worked as a lecturer of economics for more than 25 years in several universities, mainly in the West Indies and the UK. His Doctoral research title is "The Bahá’í teachings on economics and their implications for the Bahá’í community and the wider society."

Hooshmand Badee is an academic economist with a Doctoral degree in Bahá’í economics. This presentation will maintain the view that a partnership between material and spiritual aspects of life are potent forces to solve economic problems and improve well-being and prosperity. If the role of economics is to accomplish a good life and religion, on the other hand, show us how to live a good life, then religion and economics should work together as partners. In 1983, I was inspired by the message of the Universal House of Justice and got involved in Bahá’í social and economic development projects in Bangladesh as well as later on in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the West Indies with the aim of putting the grassroots population at the centre of activities.It is the general understanding of people that religion deals with the moral and spiritual aspects of life, and economics with the material aspect. The new title is Economics and the Bahá’í Faith.
My doctoral research title is “The Bahá’í teachings on economics and their implications for the Bahá’í community and the wider society.” In 2018, a thesis to the book was completed. Hence, I did my doctoral research at the University of Leeds (the administrative part) in the UK in 2016. It was this condition that fueled my passion for studying and researching the Bahá’í teachings on economics and exploring alternative solutions to tackle some of the challenging economic questions of our time. It was clear from my experiences and observations that such extremes and their effects on people’s lives are of great significance in understanding and redefining human well-being. Living amongst both the poorest nations and the wealthiest nations of the world for more than four decades, I witnessed inequality in the standard of living and a widening gap between the rich and the poor.
