Abstract
The political economy of Pakistan can be adequately unraveled by understanding the dynamics of the elitist model of growth within which, in the considered opinion of this writer, the whole politico-economic processes unfold. We seek to explain as to why the elitist growth model was successful in Pakistan and what can possibly be done to weaken the grip of the elites and thus change this past pattern of growth. This scholastic exercise has been carried out in the earnest hope of bringing about a fundamental change in the lives of the ordinary people of Pakistan. These observations are thus rooted in the literature on the political economy of developing countries.
