Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent insight into the advantages that we have to foster
Review: Ghulam Kibriya has written a most wonderful book, it deals with the politics in Pakistan from an engineer's point of view and strikes home the truth that our elite has betrayed us time and time again.

Pakistan has had innumerable advantages, an entrepreneurial people who are skilled and very resourceful, excellent mineral deposits, strategic location, good land, the existence of a strong infrastructure.

However, these have all been frittered away by the different regimes that have stepped in to rule Pakistan. By not relying on our own people, and importing foreigners and foreign technology, we could never develop our own capacity. Even worse, like an arm which is never used, our capabilities have been slowly withering away.

We have to work on building on the "experience curve" factor in Pakistan, we have to trust our own people and be confident that every activity lead to results. Local activity leads to a development in our capabilities, and further activity results in this capability being enhanced. Further "experience" results in cost-effective and quality products and services.

The arguments which Ghulam Kibriya puts forward uncovers these truths and gives us much food for though, and stimuli for action.

An excellent book overall, one of the best I have ever read.
