We dive deep into:• The inefficiency of artificial price controls.• How "blanket subsidies" are often exploited by the middle and upper-middle class.• The "Elite Capture" by local IPPs and industrialists who enjoy guaranteed dollar-pegged returns.• A Sahih Hadith on price fixing that we should have been taught in school.It’s time we stop looking for short-term "feel-good" fixes and start addressing the actual bottom-line problem: Energy.Watch till the end for a challenge on how to critically analyze these issues using AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT.#PakistanEconomy #IMF #ElectricityBills #MuzammilHassan #DilKi Baat #EnergyCrisis #FreeMarket #IPPs
