Economics & Politics

This critical edition examines the hidden costs and consequences of capitalist development. Using the subtitle "From Utopia to Disillusionment," it explores how capitalism's promises of prosperity often lead to inequality, exploitation, and social breakdown rather than the promised universal progress.

The magazine features Jamaluddin Afghani: The Pioneer of Muslim Renaissance, exploring his critique of Western colonialism and vision for Islamic revival. It also discusses BRICS+ and the Southern Union, analyzing where Pakistan stands in these emerging global alliances that challenge Western economic dominance.
