Pakistan: How to Live Within Means ( Addressing Chronic Fiscal Deficits )

Pakistan: How to Live Within Means (Addressing Chronic Fiscal Deficits) is a timely and insightful work that examines one of Pakistan’s most persistent economic challenges — the chronic fiscal deficit. Written with clarity and supported by data-driven analysis, the book highlights how repeated cycles of overspending, weak revenue generation, and structural inefficiencies have trapped the country in financial instability.

The author not only diagnoses the root causes of Pakistan’s fiscal imbalances but also provides practical policy recommendations to move towards sustainable economic management. Key discussions include the role of taxation, expenditure control, governance reforms, debt management, and long-term strategies to ensure that Pakistan lives within its means while promoting growth and equity.

This book is an essential read for economists, policymakers, students of economics, and concerned citizens who wish to understand Pakistan’s economic realities and explore possible pathways to financial discipline and prosperity.
