Help me with the following calculus: I have limited money to spend. It'll grow annually but that would take a long time. I'm spending a significant amount on security because I don't trust my neighbours. As my earnings increase so do my security expenses because my neighbours do not have the...

I would opine the primary reason for elite capture is lack of competition. Trade between us would not be limited to commodities but also inevitably expand to services as well. Industries such as raw material processing which have started to mature and would likely shift overseas would find it...

Can one really predict the outcome of a war? Why so sure of the aftereffects of trade then? I agree with your points about the short term position of Pakistani industry and trust deficit between us being untenable but economic activity begets more economic activity so long as the potential in...

Would it surprise you to note that Pakistan currently is more protectionist than India as far as trade inhibition mechanisms are concerned. There are policy mechnism that recognise such a scenario and help buffer local industries for the short term. Its commonly used by developing countries...

I would posit that trade is not such one dimensional. Consider this, is it cheaper for a business to manufacture products in pakistan and then forward to central states or to manufacture them in India. Supply lines could be optimised so that each manufacturer can focus on their own...

Valid points but i would counter the pessimism by stating that Perhaps a start in the right direction would be thinking about what such a peacefull scenario would look like ;)

Not gonna lie, that sudden right turn from human rights to beef khorma biryani cracked me up :omghaha:

Superiors don't generally deign to spend their precious time with their inferiors. Scoot away kind sir, lest our filth lessen your pedigree

Ok, hatred deleted, lets talk business now. Except business regularly screw over each other, suppliers, distributors and anyone really if it saves a dime. Take wallmart for example, its hub and spoke strategy and its every day low cost policy has caused it to aggresively pressurize its...

What stops the proud pathan from outwitting the baniya. You too can try to as you put it exploit the market by being competitive, its called a free market. Definately more satisfying to cause your competitor to close shop than to kill him. One kills the spirit the other just the body Is it such...

Given the current scenario i would agree with your analysis. What im postulating from is based on two observations: 1. India cannot project power globally if our resources are being eaten up by our security at our fence. Its a headache, theres no easy solution, and perpetually results in...

Rupee is pegged to the dollar.

I agree completely with your points. Current scenario being what it is, the proposed thought experiment would be nothing short of a fanfiction. My point is exactly that :D Aren't you tired of the repetitive "you bad evil scum die" on this forum? Thats not to say you shudnt voice opposition to...

There are policy mechanisms that are used to address exactly such a scenario. They allow for domestic industry to adjust for the abovementioned shocks and in the long term are very beneficial for a nations economic health. When those who own businesses figure out that they can now grow at an...

Time. With what certinity can you predict the global political scenario for the next 70 years. What is the probability that as newer generations become adult citizens, they can come up with a workable solution. Is it for certain zero?

Sabse bada rupaiyya

A transactional relationship is by definition not bound by sentiments. A relationship where both act in self interest witin the purview of agreed upon rules would be beneficial. If England and France despite centuries of acrimony can do it, why cant we? Why cant we fight with rupees and with...

Khayali pulao hi chal raha hai:enjoy:, another life hai aesa hi samajhlo. Now think like an entrepreneur and come up with ways to sell stuff for Momin Inc. And be a Pakistani billionare living in a developed Pakistan. Theres like a billion gullible customers next to the fence and 200 million...

You know the irony? Pakistan used to import around 7.8% of her tea needs from indian sources. There's a probable chance you guys served Indian tea to an Indian. Puri ghar wali feeling di tumne :woot:

1. Do trucks and rails climbing heights of the Himalayan ranges themselves not consume resources at a significant rate as compared to their counterparts operating in the plains. 2. If 100 people are living in western china and a 10000 in eastern, what would the economic profit be for a...
