description: "Pakistan has a substantial number of rich people — seven to eight percent of the total population — whose real capita income may exceed even the highest averages in some of the richest societies in the world,” writes Syed Shabbar Zaidi in his book Rich People, Poor Country: The Story of Fiscal and Foreign Exchange Policies of Pakistan. The book is a collection of his articles published in the daily Business Recorder during the last two years. In it, Zaidi has attempted to highlight important developments in Pakistan’s economic system by providing his opinion and commentary with relevant historical context of the laws and any changes made to them.
