Khurram Hussain comes on for a comprehensive breakdown of the Economic History of Pakistan. In the first part we cover the history 1947-1987 with some shocking Economic Revelations.

On this deep dive podcast we discuss the Pakistani Economy, what keeps us in the boom-bust cycle, why we keep going back to IMF, the price Pakistan has paid for dictatorships and whether our economy is designed just for the elites.
