Abstract
This book attempts to investigate and analyse the factors responsible for the formulation and implementation of the economic policies followed in Pakistan during 1947-82 which are responsible in many ways for creating the economic situation in which the country finds itself today. The book begins with a discussion of the macro framework and the process of economic decision-making and power groups influencing such decision-making. This is followed by five chapters on various issues related to agriculture, and four chapters on industrial and commercial policies issues. Financing of economic development, based on fiscal and monetary management and impact of foreign aid, winds up the book.
