Description
Why this book on the economy of one single province? We have been too much focusing on the macroeconomic picture of Pakistan as a country, which is fine and which is totally justifiable. But that aggregation is top‐down, all the information is available at the aggregate level. It is not the bottom of approach which ideally shoud go from Districts to the Province and then to build the National picture. So, we are losing a lot of useful information in this process of top‐down aggregation. Each Province has its own peculiarities , has its own strengths and weaknesses and we have to look at them as a separate unit of study, to capture those peculiarities and build up the strategy within the overall macroeconomic framework. This way the richness and uniqueness of each individual unit of study would mesh in with the overall picture but at the same time identify the tensions and complementarities between the provincial and macro strategies.
