Download or read book Pakistan s Economy at the Crossroads written by Parvez Hasan and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, by the former chief of the World Bank Mission in Central Asia, presents an assessment of Pakistan's economic record and performance over the last fifty years. Hasan examines the role of politics and economic policies in explaining Pakistan's development experience and highlights the sources of present economic difficulties. A unique feature of the book is that the analysis of the period prior to separation presents trends for East and West Pakistan separately and focuses on inter-regional economic issues that became so divisive in the final years of united Pakistan. Drawing on these past lessons, the book also presents an agenda for policy and institutional reform for the future.

Download or read book Pakistan s Economy Achievements Progress Constraints and Prospects written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since independence, Pakistan can look back on 50 years of steady, sometimes spectacular economic advance. Pakistan's growth has been the fastest in South Asia. The gross national product has increased on average by over 5% a year since 1947. Pakistan started behind India at the time of independence, but its income per capita is now 75% higher. In spite of high population growth, per capita income has more than trebled in the past two decades. Still, despite these accomplishments there is growing dissatisfaction with the country's economic performance. Here the main shortcomings often cited include the following: (1) large budgetary and balance of payments deficits, (2) increasing inflationary pressures, (3) population explosion and rising unemployment, (4) physical infrastructure constraints, and (5) inadequate human resource development. Pakistan's golden jubilee presents an opportune time to examine the country's economic performance during the last 50 years. How far has the economy progressed and at what cost? Is progress sustainable? What are the main limitations associated with the country's development model? Is Pakistan on the verge of becoming an Asian Tiger? Ultimately, one has to address the question posed by Mahbubul Haq: "Why are its people so poor when the economy has made such rapid progress?" Perhaps a related question is whether and to what extent democracy can be sustained in light of the massive economic and social difficulties the country currently faces.

Download or read book New Perspectives on Pakistan s Political Economy written by Matthew McCartney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes a major intervention in the debates around the nature of the political economy of Pakistan, focusing on its contemporary social dynamics. This is the first comprehensive academic analysis of Pakistan's political economy after thirty-five years, and addresses issues of state, class and society, examining gender, the middle classes, the media, the bazaar economy, urban spaces and the new elite. The book goes beyond the contemporary obsession with terrorism and extremism, political Islam, and simple 'civilian–military relations', and looks at modern-day Pakistan through the lens of varied academic disciplines. It not only brings together new work by some emerging scholars but also formulates a new political economy for the country, reflecting the contemporary reality and diversification in the social sciences in Pakistan. The chapters dynamically and dialectically capture emergent processes and trends in framing Pakistan's political economy and invite scholars to engage with and move beyond these concerns and issues.
