Description
The level of debate and public discourse on economic issues in Pakistan follows a binary path. For example, you can either be a supporter of privatisation or an opponent. There are no other alternatives. This kind of discourse is not helpful and what is required instead is a more analytical and pragmatic approach.
The state has three distinct roles to play in the area of business. First, it can own the businesses. Second, it has to formulate and implement a public policy that impacts on the formation, survival and expansion of businesses. Third, it has to act as the regulator for all private or publicly owned businesses.
