📖 Description
English
In this video, we explore Pakistan: The Economy of an Elitist Nation by Dr. Ishrat Husain — a powerful study of how Pakistan’s economy has largely served a privileged elite rather than the broader population. The discussion highlights how political, bureaucratic, and military elites dominate both institutions and markets, shaping agriculture, industry, human capital, and infrastructure for their own benefit.
The book offers historical insights into Pakistan’s economic evolution, showing how structural inequality, weak education, health, and fiscal mismanagement have kept the nation dependent on the elite class. Finally, Ishrat Husain presents a vision for reform — focused on inclusive growth, institutional reform, and equitable distribution of resources.
This video is ideal for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding Pakistan’s political economy and the roots of its inequality.
Urdu (اردو)
اس ویڈیو میں ہم ڈاکٹر عشرت حسین کی کتاب “پاکستان: ایک اشرافیہ ریاست کی معیشت” کا خلاصہ پیش کرتے ہیں — یہ کتاب بتاتی ہے کہ پاکستان کی معیشت عام عوام کے بجائے چند طاقتور طبقوں کے مفاد میں کیوں کام کرتی ہے۔
سیاسی، بیوروکریٹک اور عسکری اشرافیہ نے ریاستی اداروں اور مارکیٹ دونوں پر قبضہ جما رکھا ہے۔ اس کے نتیجے میں زراعت، صنعت، تعلیم، صحت اور انفراسٹرکچر کی ترقی محدود اور طبقاتی رہی ہے۔
کتاب پاکستان کی معاشی تاریخ کو بیان کرتے ہوئے واضح کرتی ہے کہ کس طرح طاقت، دولت اور مواقع صرف چند ہاتھوں میں مرتکز ہیں۔ آخر میں ڈاکٹر عشرت حسین ایک جامع اصلاحاتی وژن پیش کرتے ہیں — جس میں شمولیتی ترقی، ادارہ جاتی اصلاحات، اور وسائل کی منصفانہ تقسیم پر زور دیا گیا ہے۔
یہ ویڈیو ان تمام افراد کے لیے ہے جو پاکستان کی معیشت، طاقت کے ڈھانچے اور سماجی نابرابری کو سمجھنا چاہتے ہیں۔
