book of aphorisms by a Pakistani lawyer

Economics

Modem man in pursuing the American dream of conspicuous consumption is obsessed with the mania of owning gadgets, which are rapidly made obsolete by ever-new models of technology to increase the frenzy of consumption.
Excitement of purchasing new models of goods, as status symbols, is short-lived and becomes common and stale soon after the thing is bought.
To deprive the rich by giving to the poor is distribution of poverty.
Economic aspirations are motivated by the dictum that acquisitions elevate and deprivations degrade.
Wealth generates wealth in the hand of the few and poverty breeds poverty on the crushed shoulders of too many. Since the dawn of civilization, there have always been some who accumulate wealth by fortuitous circumstances, force or tact and in the process become insensitive to the needs and pains of the poor, as a condition for retaining wealth.
The purpose of homo economicus is to seek fleeting pleasures through sale and purchase of the products for the wheels of market economy to roll on .
In debt-ridden and inflationary economy, a middle class person is compelled to make twice as much money as he earned less than a decade ago to maintain the same static standards ofliving and those, who cannot keep up, return to the poverty line where they came from.
In a consumer culture, the crafty create’ wants and the dupes satisfy them.
Indulgence in everything advertised is considered prosperity and happiness. A social milieu to keep up with Joneses is created by credit economy in which moderation and restraint are deemed passe, because their exercise will result in the collapse of consumer banking and credit card economy.
The only thing presently free in life is air, as the governments are unable to tax it.
Those soaked in riches, power or fame are ridiculous to watch, dripping them.
It is no good to acquire riches, power or fame, unless you flaunt them to impress.
Making as much profit as you can is a virtue, but keeping as much profit as you will is a vice.
Every age gives prominence to a dominant idea as desirable to achieve to keep fools amongst its people contented. For our age, the idea is unwavering pursuit of happiness in wealth.
Wealth is sweat of the poor and cunning of the rich.
Most despairing are the aspirations some entertain beyond their capacities. This is one of the salient reasons for tension, frustration and criminal behaviour in the society. The malaise emanates from the widening divergence of economic inequities and longing for wealth.
Most of the profits of the multinationals come from the poverty of the destitute and deprived of the world. Like leeches, they prosper ravenous and devouring, on the blood and sweat of the needy and helpless.
International aid is giving miserly to the poor countries what the donor countries extract generously from them in costly patented trade.
Rich countries are like snake charmers. They charm the poor countries with their loots .
