- The Costly Addiction to Foreign Aid:
Foreign Aid is no free lunch! We do not realize that over time, it has cost us tremendously...and it still is costing us a fortune. However, our policymaking circles remain enamored to the prospects of dollars and donor goodies. In the end, it's the citizens who bear the cost.

Pakistan's Cities and Urban Vibrancy:
Pakistan's cities are excessively attuned to the interests of the elite - with runaway urban sprawl, private housing societies, road infrastructure promoting vehicular expansion, and constant intimidation of enterprising working class individuals looking for a better future via the informal market. The economic, social, and political costs of this cannot be overstated. What can policymakers do to rethink the nature of Pakistan's cities to foster commercial activity, cultural/ideational exchange, and accessible, high quality mobility options for its urban dwellers so that cities can function - as they do globally - as engines of growth?

Pakistan is heavily indebted. We need to address the real problem: the country needs political reforms. Military generals cannot run the country; they are not capable of doing so. They are further corrupting economic and political systems and institutions through force.
