Re: Pakistanis' choice - Buy the Middle Eastern (Arab Muslim) view of the world Or?
Talking about earnings, I mentioned India and Vietnam since they have very similar economic development as Pakistan despite having a 'different world view' as you put it.
I do not think that you can measure superiority of a 'world view' by standard of living. It changes through decades and is a very transitory. Nations develop through education and learning and fall when they stop doing that. The Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Europeans.... they all developed through education. It is no coincidence that 60% of the people in Micheal Hart's 100 greatest men come from Europe, between 14th and 18th century, and are scientists, poets, philosophers, etc. Europe prospered because they READ those peoples' work and not by following another world view.
