Also the way i look at it if we can use the services of this guy to improve the lives of over 200 million muslims, i reckon we should do it.
If Atif Mian qualifies on merit and has sincerity for Pakistan he should get that advisory position, if he does not qualify on merit and/or lacks sincerity for Pakistan, then he should be abandoned in lieu of someone better.
Okay I respect your point of view. But Imran khan himself said on his second speech to people of Pakistan and numerous time before and kept giving example how Muhammad (P.B.U.H) lived and made the best law system in Makkah. If we take that example then Muhammad (P.B.U.H) never appointed any non muslim on the post no matter how great economist or thinker that non muslim was until that guy accepted Islam.
Please do let me know what current experience he has for fixing economy any past experience? This is his CV
Atif Mian is John H. Laporte, Jr. Class of 1967 Professor of Economics, Public Policy and Finance at Princeton University, and Director of the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance at the Woodrow Wilson School. He holds a bachelors degree in Mathematics with Computer Science and Ph.D. in Economics from MIT. Prior to joining Princeton in 2012 he taught at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Chicago Booth School of business. Professor Mian's work studies the connections between finance and the macro economy. His latest book,
House of Debt, with Amir Sufi builds upon powerful new data to describe how debt precipitated the Great Recession. The book explains why debt continues to threaten the global economy, and what needs to be done to fix the financial system.
House of Debt is
critically acclaimed by
The New York Times, Financial Times,
The Wall Street Journal,
The Economist, and
The Atlantic among others. Professor Mian's research has appeared in top academic journals, including the
American Economic Review,
Econometrica, Quarterly Journal of Economics,
Journal of Finance,
Review of Financial Studies and
Journal of Financial Economics.
So basically he is great professor who had written great books and taught in Schools etc but never had any real practical experience and I never knew him before this appointment and most on this forum and People of Pakistan doesn't know him well either. Here we are not talking about writing a book on economics rather need a guy who practically implement something. Please do let me know if I am wrong as this is what I have found about him so far. Who knows this haqqani is also qadiyani who is sitting in USA and spitting venom against Pakistan because of asma jhangir who took the guarantee that he will come back and later on we come to know asma jhangir was also qadiyani. You never know since they hide themselves and not reveal the true identity so who is the real enemy a non muslim who show their identity or such people who hide themselves among us.
And talking about merit how come this guy never got any attention from PTI for this post?
