22 families of Pakistan and Nationalisation

Arts & Culture History

I read somewhere that Bhutto took steps for nationalisation considering the fact that resources of the country were owned by only 22 families?

Is it true? Was that a successful agenda. We still see few big giants owning resources of the country?

This a detailed article discussing the industries which were nationalised.

Impact of Nationalization on Pakistan’

This discussed the demotivation of investors due to nationalisation, which didn’t bring desirable results ‘extermination of concentration of wealth with few families’ as Bhutto did not work on Agricultural sector.. He could not becuase he himself was a big landlord and his party surviving todate due to these feudals.
