Summary:
This book narrates some of the enduring fallacies and flawed philosophies (blind spots) of Pakistani elites that prevent us from joining virtuous cycles of growth and development. The book does not restrict itself to being a catalog of political follies and historical fallacies but also offers multiple solutions that could help reinvigorate our fast-eroding cultural and political commons and possibly reverse the engulfing tide of social entropy.
