The book explores the impact of rural poverty and labor-market policies in Pakistan, highlighting how many Punjabi men migrate for work. It critiques the reliance on remittances, which often fuel conspicuous consumption rather than fostering genuine economic development, raising important questions about the effectiveness of migration as a strategy for improving local economies.
