Disorganised Development and Social Injustice in Pakistan

Beschreibung

This book seeks to shed light on why some countries have achieved more than others in bringing prosperity to their people - more specifically, it is about the relative failure of Pakistan (and South Asia more generally) compared to East and South-East Asia. The absence of a pro-poor implicit social contract in Pakistan has been the principal cause.
