Pakonomy

This blog discusses how the economy of Pakistan is the root cause of the main issues - problems as well successes in various sectors. For example, when the dairy sector grew into a white revolution than a politicial revolution, it was basically supported by good agri sector. Similarly, more cars on the road and better motorway forced the government to produce better policing for it and now the highway police is an example of success.
How many of us pay taxes and when less taxes are paid how it leads to an inequitable division of resources and causes social disharmony and creates corrupt politicians who rather force us to vote them only. We then land into such a process or vicious circle of politico-socio-economics which opens areas of discussion what we would do in this blog of people of common interests.
