Which Pakistani economist is known as architect of country’s 1973 economic policies & nationalization?

The 1970s in Pakistan were marked by significant economic reforms, including extensive nationalization of industries, banks, and educational institutions under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's government. While Bhutto's government implemented these policies, Dr. Mahbub ul Haq, a globally renowned Pakistani economist, was a key intellectual and advisor behind many of the economic strategies of that era, including the nationalization drive. His influence on economic planning during this period was substantial, making him the correct answer.

• Ghulam Ishaq Khan was a prominent bureaucrat and later President, but not the architect of the 1973 economic policies.
• Abdul Hafeez Pirzada was a politician known for drafting the 1973 Constitution, not the economic policies.
• Nadeem Ul Haq is a contemporary economist and was not involved in the 1973 economic policies.
