Author Description

Product Description The first comprehensive, fifty-year perspective on Pakistan's economic history, this book re-examines the conventional wisdom about development in Pakistan's society and economy and provides facts and data that are not easily available. Review `So different from almost all others written on the topic... It reflects the author's commitment, critical mind and hard work... engagingly provocative style... I would love to see it used in classrooms at the graduate (MA) level in all Pakistani universities... I am so pleased that Oxford University Press has published it in paperback.'
