Pakistan's Mr. Mehboob-ul-Haq developed this index along with some other economists in 1980. Since then it has been used by United Nations Development Program. According to the 2008 HDI report released by UNDP, Pakistan ironically ranked 139th out of a list of 179 countries. On the other hand, it is mind boggling to see that Israel with all its human rights violations and wars ranked at 23rd place, just below Germany and right above South Korea. China's position was 94th, Palestine's 106th and guess who was at number 1 position? ICELAND. There seems to be something terribly wrong with this index too. I think it might need to bring in some modifications to reflect the rankings better.Zeeshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302084782616940942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790127660451376935.post-62809328207576184892009-01-14T10:17:00.000-08:002009-01-14T10:17:00.000-08:00It's an interesting theory.

You wrote in your comment “Who in the right mind would forgo big profits on the SUVs that customers demanded in return for producing smaller cars that were less profitable?”. Well, this is exactly what the problem is with big companies like GM. Short term profit is everything to them. The reason why they were criticized was not because anyone was against their making of SUVs, but because of the way they abandoned the electric car idea and scrapped the whole project. Yes, the price of oil was low at that time, but if GM had visionary outlook, they would predict the problems arising due to the shortage of oil in the near future. Even the First Gulf war started in August 1990 and that could have been a good enough reason to continue the project. Atleast, they could have made improvements to the earlier version of the electric car so that the vehicle could become more acceptable to the public. Generally, many people do respond to products that are environmentally friendly, help in conserving energy and provide good value for money. <BR/><BR/>You say “this is a classic case of law of capitalism that GM/Ford followed by selling big SUVs” Dear sir, is it not the classic case of capitalism to make what consumers really want? (Let’s not talk too much of capitalism anyways as it might be on its way out). Once the tide had started turning in favor of smaller and fuel efficient vehicles, the failure of GM was to ignore such a change and continue to push SUVs in the market. This is the precise reason why so many of them are still unsold today.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the point that you made about the Japanese entering the SUV market late because initially they didn’t have the platform to build such vehicles, I think there was nothing wrong for the Japanese in going after the profitable segment of the market as SUVs would not just vanish forever from the face of the Earth. However, they were smart enough to learn how to make SUVs while at the same time continue to manufacture and improve on more fuel efficient cars and hybrids as the market trend changed. The ground reality is that it is GM that is on the verge of bankruptcy and not the Japanese manufacturers.<BR/><BR/>If you re-read my post correctly, you will find that I never mentioned that Ford got anything from the TARP fund. However, Ford will definitely need to receive funds from the government this year as they have already indicated. Hence, GM and Ford will have to prove their viability to get more funds by March, while Ford would have to show its viability if the company wants to get its first share of funds. Congress is not in the mood to give away “charity”.<BR/><BR/>I would appreciate if next time disrespectful or too self-assuring language is not used. Thank you for posting.Zeeshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302084782616940942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790127660451376935.post-86293074105653148472009-01-06T11:36:00.000-08:002009-01-06T11:36:00.000-08:00Yet another gibberish post from somebody who think...Yet another gibberish post from somebody who thinks to know something about the car industry. <BR/><BR/>GM produced EV in the 1990's when the average crude oil price was in the $20's through out most of the decade. The demand for the EV was minimal, considering the low oil price. Who in the right mind would forgo big profits on the SUVs that customers demanded in return for producing smaller cars that were less profitable? This is a classic case of law of capitalism that GM/Ford followed by selling big SUVs. <BR/><BR/>The other big reason why Japanese didn't sell big trucks in 1990's is because they did not have the "vehicle platform" to produce it. Remember they came from Japan, where no one buys SUVs and the roads are smaller. It's got more to do with historical and geographical reasons that the Japanese companies were late to the SUV game. Today, Toyota has several in-efficient SUVs lined up to compete against the offerings from GM and Ford, which means going after profitable segment of the market. So, please don't give me this crap that Japanese made the choice to offer fuel efficient vehicles to consumers. That's not true.<BR/><BR/>Also, for your information, Ford didn't get any funding from TARP, so it's the Big 2 that have to prove their viability by March 2009. Appreciate if you could get your facts correct.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Arun KumarUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128003153751319965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790127660451376935.post-70848602776407947542009-01-01T02:09:00.000-08:002009-01-01T02:09:00.000-08:00Is the Euro the New Dollar?The market has spoken: ...<A HREF="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1869159,00.html?xid=rss-topstories" REL="nofollow">Is the Euro the New Dollar?</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5425706.ece" REL="nofollow">The market has spoken: long live the euro</A>Saadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02404658782028909950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790127660451376935.post-21294500991946591182008-12-31T22:35:00.000-08:002008-12-31T22:35:00.000-08:00Yes, Euro has a better potential than dollar.
