Abstract
After an initial boost in the current decade, Pakistan economy is again showing signs of sluggishness. Though the causes for slowing down of economic activity is usually ascribed to the rising international prices of petroleum and food items, closer evaluation indicates that inappropriate economic, fiscal and monetary policies have contributed much towards current situation. Main victim of these policies has been, of course, the proverbial poor man. He is not only the prey of his own mental backwardness, inertia and unlimited capacity to accept any thing as his fate; his economic conditions are further aggravated by the prevailing economic policies. In the proposed paper, I shall briefly touch upon the root causes of poverty in Pakistan & its dynamics, besides suggesting some policy imperatives to break away from the shackles of the past
