“Malthus was a favourite of the upper classes, for he laid the blame for widening inequality on the reproductive habits of the workers rather than on failings of the economic and political systems, which might have required their reform or replacement.”

سورج کی روشنی اور صبح اٹھنا صحت کے لیے اچھے ہیں اور بہت سے کام ہو جاتے ہیں اور دن میں برکت پڑ جاتی ہے۔

رات آٹھ بجے بازار مارکیٹ بند۔۔۔ ایک بہت ہی اچھا اور مثبت قدم۔ وفاقی و صوبائی حکومتوں کو اس پالیسی کو مستقل کرنا چاہیے۔

@MIshaqDar50 اب آی ایم ایف کے بجائے عوام کو سہولت دیں کہیں دیر نہ ہو جائے۔ آپ ایک عام گھر کا بجٹ بنائیں تو پتہ چلے گا کہ لوگ کس طرح نیچے جا رہیں ہیں۔ کیا حکومت کا کام لوگوں کی خدمت نہیں یا ان کی مشکلات میں اضافہ کرنا ہے۔ مہنگائی، بےروزگاری،تعلیم اور صحت کی عدم دستیابی کا یہ سلسلہ کب تک چلے گا

How IMF destroyed countries after countries. Pakistan current govt is following all the bad policy measures suggested by them, killing the economy.

"Back in 1998 in Indonesia, I saw how the IMF ruined that country’s banking system." -Stiglitz

Higher petrol prices -> lower real income, lower purchasing power -> pple are poorer

Since majority of people have v little or no savings, they enter into downward spiral of debt & misery.

There were powerful kings, basically untouchables, washed away by people. Don’t be fools.

“When the price of a good you consume increases, your real income is reduced because you can no longer afford the same level of consumption. By the same logic, when the price of a good that you consume falls, your real income is increased.” - Stiglitz

“When the price of a necessity like electricity rises, a consumer’s nominal income ($ amount in their bank account) stays the same, but their real income (what those dollars can actually buy) falls. They are effectively poorer bcz basket of goods they usually buy now costs more.”

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more.

Our world is ready for solutions. Let's make them happen. #ClimateAction #solar

🚨 China's Real Estate Market has erased all gains from the last 20 years

[Economic Ideas for Development @econideasdev]

“The poorer a family is, the larger the percentage of its total expenditure must be spent on food. This is why a rise in basic costs (like the electricity price hike) hits lower-income households much harder—they have less "luxury" padding in their budget to cut back on.”

[Economic Ideas for Development @econideasdev]

In a normal happy economy blue line should move outward. But in an exploitative system it collapses to squeeze and eliminate possibilities for people.

Higher electricity prices -> lower real income (purchasing power) -> people become poorer

A lot of unhappy people -> trouble

Certainly relatively easier access to IMO in Pakistan leading to top university didn’t play any role. https://t.co/Dg5iOcetRA

Stop embarrassing yourselves. 🤦‍♂️

Sualeh Asif’s success isn’t Pakistan’s victory—it happened despite being Pakistani, not because of it. 🇵🇰

Pakistani talent ≠ Pakistani ecosystem.
MIT 🎓, Silicon Valley 🌉, funding 💰—that’s it.

Fix the system, or stop taking credit.
