Description:
"The book is a collection of forty seminal writings of Sartaj Aziz on the alleviation of hunger and poverty, and self-reliant development at national and global levels. In reality, these recollections, essays and reports are an excellent written history of the social, economic and political problems of our time.
Sartaj Aziz has had a distinguished career and his writings represent the work over the years in various positions of responsibility in the National Planning Commission of Pakistan, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the international Fund for Agricultural Development, the Society for International Development, and his experiences as an active participant in the on-going North-South and South-South dialogues, grappling with the key issues facing us all as we enter the 21st century.

Some of the essays focus on the critically important problems of agricultural, economic and political development of Pakistan within the larger context of South Asia and the so-called developing and the developed nations of the world.
Personally speaking, I find the enlightened man-in-the-middle outlook and approach of Sartaj Aziz a refreshingly candid yet positive and hope inspiring quality of these well-written essays on the central issues of national and global development.
It is a thought provoking, timely and well-produced book, so ably edited by Professor Anwar Dil. It deserves to be read by all those involved in eradicating hunger, poverty, ignorance and suffering from our planet."
