The course "Raising a Nation" offers the opportunity to learn about the most popular theories and practices in global economic growth, and is now open for applications. It is part of the so-called "Harvard Courses" at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEBA) at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" and is being held for the fifteenth consecutive year.

"Raising a Nation" is based on a program from Harvard University and includes the study of theoretical models and case studies that help in understanding and applying growth and development theories. It seeks to answer questions such as:

• Why are some countries rich while others are poor?
• What can economic policies do to change that?
• What factors and forces explain the difference in the growth rates of different countries?

Lectures are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 PM in room 304 of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Sofia University.

The program is open to all ambitious and curious individuals.

The lectures are entirely in English, and participation is completely free. More information can be found here: https://www.economicstrategy.org/ran/
