#ChatGPT gives almost similar prescriptions as given by development economists.
Is it supernacy of development economists or the end of development economists?

Every student in high schools & universities shd be trained as an entrepreneur. It does not mean everyone will do business. Though millions need to do! Entrepreneurial skill is all about decision making, risks and finding solutions of problems. Everyone should learn it.

How can we have walkable cities with 45 degrees temperature? What’s the solution?

Discuss macro numbers on twitter and never discuss or understand micro foundations of the economy.
Dnt raise big questions on economic & social fundamentals.
Never discuss oppertunities to grow the economy.
Rule book to become a popular economist in Pakistan!

Shopping for the new library being established by @atomcamp in partnership with Mindstir (a co-working space) in Blue Area Islamabad. You will be able read these and 100s of such books by paying annual or monthly subscription.

We have been doing austerity, bans and controls. What we have not been doing?
Enhancing oppertinities for people to be more productive and competitive.
We all want to read why nations fail but we dnt read books that tell us why nations thrive.

My decision to ban import of luxury items will save the country precious foreign exchange. We will practice austerity & financially stronger people must lead in this effort so that the less privileged among us do not have to bear this burden inflicted on them by the PTI govt.
Law-breaking & violence is normal in Pakistan to deal with social, religious, domestic, property and political issues. This is the main feature of a tribal society that does not have a modern state with a monopoly of violence and the capability to establish rule of law.

Politics in Pakistan is about the money in your bank. Educated youth has brilliant ideas, but is broke. How can this lot first break the wheel and reconstruct it, to enter politics in the first place?
#PakThink
Educated youth interested in politics should join the game as politicians instead of bashing and supporting politicians on twitter.
Why educated and talented women want to leave Pakistan?
I can see this trend is increasing rapidly.
The number may be minimal now but has an increasing trend.
Lets not get into size of this segment but focus on the question I posed even if the number is quite small.

Everyone talks about current account deficit and fiscal deficit.
No one talks about learning deficit in Pakistan.
#PakThink
What matters for economic growth? What is the history of thought process in this field?

A focus on life skills is needed in school education. Tech/vocational education shd be mandatory in high school. More technical/vocational colleges giving free education. Universities shd b transformed into research, entrepreneurial and community engagement enterprises.

1/2. In 1956, Malaysia requested Pakistan to depute a police officer to help Malaysia develop its anti-corruption systems. Pakistan sent Shah Nazir Alam, a police officer. He spent 2 years there and produced an excellent system that was implemented by Malaysia.

Three weeks preparation to give a one-hour lecture to a course in The History of Economic Thought by @atomcamp. Happening on the 3rd March at 7 pm.
Will seek permission from our CEO @shuakhalid to allow its live streaming or recording to be shared publicly.

We need to come up with an ambitious plan to advocate preventive healthcare in Pakistan through healthy lifestyle.
Otherwise we won't be able to finance heakthcare of huge ailing population.
Need to educate ppl to do exercise, walk, eat healthy and reduce sugar/fats.

I think the national library in Islamabad need to reform. If the govt really wants to promote reading culture than pls shift this (NLP) to some accessible place or provide public transport facility.
