Wow! We made up the term #sludge out of frustration. Now it gets a study with 10 min video from Pakistan. They estimate total sludge = 40% of GDP! Would love to see a similar estimate for the US. Cass Sunstein

OICCI huge organization of big business multinational companies is organizing a conference. Felicitations. Guest list is very interesting 1 no one from University. Not even a University collaboration. 2 speakers are mostly businessman or their employees 3. Of course, Embassy

abrar Nadeem Haque Omer Siddique OICCI I disagree. Nadeem sb hs done world class work, see the growth plan tht PIDE presented, or planning commission did whn he was Dy Chair. Sludge series is another outstanding work and his books, especially Looking Back ... is also superb. He uplifted PIDE

کل شب 9 بجے کی سپیس میں بات کریں گیں کے پلاٹوں اور مراعات کے کلچر نے پاکستان اور اس کی اقتصاد کو کیسے نقصان پہنچایا ھے۔ اۤپ سب کی شرکت کا مشکور ھوں گا 🙏🙏 الیکشن سے پہلے مزید سپیسز کریں گیں تاکہ اس طرح کے معاملات پر بحث کی جا سکے
