Abstract / Description
At a general level I broadly agree with Bill Easterly that Pakistan’s performance in social development has lagged behind other countries at the same level of per capita income. His regressions demonstrate this quite unambiguously. I am also grateful that he has used my elitist growth model as applied to Pakistan for explaining the reasons as to why the benefits of rapid economic growth in Pakistan over a period of forty years have not been widely distributed and were concentrated in a small class of the elite at the top. However, I have also several points of disagreement with some of his observations.
