Mirza Shahnawaz Agha
Current Chronicles authored by Mirza Shahnawaz Agha in essence addresses the basic structure of governance in Pakistan as has been upheld in the last seven decades.
The role and cost of the institutions of the State and the Federal and Provincial Legislatures put together consume 82% plus of all tax collections and borrowings in the opinion of the author.
Strictly from the economic perspective the country is spending the wealth of the people up to 82% to manage 18% for the people’s welfare. This is primarily what seems to disturb the author, as in organized Nation States this expense should be in single digit. This is not a book of criticism, but offers solutions to mitigate this dilemma.
From the perspective of the editorial team of Pakistan Observer, contents of the book warrant serious consideration both by the governors and the governed. It is a recommended reading most from the perspective of research objectives.
— The writer is an entrepreneur and author based in Karachi.
