Pakistan inherited poverty and underdevelopment at the end of British colonial rule. Pakistan was enforced into a neo-colonial capitalist model in which authoritarianism and economic growth were blended together.
In Pakistan the alliance of bureaucracy, army and feudal elite centralized the authority in their hands by cooperating with the forces of capitalist world system under the influence of US.
The economic planning of Pakistan is under the influence of world capitalist system and US not according to the needs of the people which is hindering the growth and promoting the phenomena of underdevelopment in Pakistan.
