But the new guy (former dpy gov) is just a 'mini me' version of Baqir. Baqir had a Harvard PhD in econ. New guy has an Oxford PhD in econ. Both cut their teeth at the IMF.

Also, beware the IMF types. Although... literally anything is better than Dar/Daku-nomics, obviously.
Exactly!
PTI's information strategy was also all over the place. Simple visuals / charts would have really helped. Randomly ranting against corruption, artificial valuations, etc., over and over doesn't help. Many educated people, let alone the masses, have trouble understanding how these accounting tricks (masquerading as fiscal and monetary policy) are pulled off. People just know: pehlay itna tha, ab itna hai.
