Description

In the 1960s when Pakistan opted for a private sector led development strategy, the country seemed on the verge of a breakthrough. Today, 30 years on the economic picture is bleak. In many ways the country is worse off than it was in the 1960s. The 50th year of Pakistan's independence is a good time to reflect on what went wrong. Why did Pakistan fail to join the rank of Asian "tigers"? This book is intended for economists, social scientists, policy planners.
