We are told that the Economic Advisory Council of Pakistan has after much controversy and fanfare engaged in ‘out-of-the box’ thinking. We learnt that cheese was an important indicator for the eminent group.
This forced Anjum out of retirement to join me in reflecting on the importance of cheese.
We not only discussed, cheese but also BOP and even governance and healthcare, proving once again that the economy is a complex adaptive system. What emerged once again is that we must take a systemic view if we are to learn anything.

The satirical touch to the podcast was so refreshing . I have started listening to your podcasts after today's seminar by Planning Commission - social sector series. Looking forward to read your book as well. Most of the things that you said today are true ; nevertheless my friends and I found the talk more like a discouraging reality check instead of a solution-oriented seminar. But then of course, there's a difference between researching and implementing. Upwards and onwards, Sir.
