from Thought Behind Things · host Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi

We break down the disparity between the heavily taxed salaried class and the tax-exempt real estate elite, the concept of "exit liquidity," and why I foresee a massive pump and dump cycle coming to the property market right as the IMF agreements proceed.If you are thinking of parking your hard-earned cash in an unproductive plot to double your money, you need to watch this first.Let me know your philosophy and logic in the comments below!Chapters:The Section 7E Verdict & The Real Estate CelebrationWhat Exactly Was the Finance Act 2022 (Section 7E)?The Problem with Hoarding Unproductive LandIslamic Finance, Wealth Hoarding & ProductivityThe Approaching Real Estate "Pump and Dump"Why the Elite Desperately Need Exit LiquidityTax Disparity: The Salaried Class vs. The Real Estate SectorHow Finance Capitalism Actually Runs Pakistan
