What’s Driving Pakistan’s Middle Class Brain Drain?
A growing number of skilled workers are leaving Pakistan, seeking opportunities abroad as their country faces one of Asia’s highest inflation rates, rising food and energy prices and a devalued currency.
To address the dire economic situation, the government has implemented unpopular reforms, including raising corporate tax rates and utility prices. These measures are part of Pakistan’s latest $7 billion loan deal with the International Monetary Fund, aimed at averting national bankruptcy.
But the result of all this has been an increasing number of would-be taxpayers emigrating to wealthier nations. So what does that mean for the country’s economic and political prospects?

The ‘Billionaire’ Minimum Tax: How Harris Could Tax America's Ultra-Rich | WSJ
Vice President Kamala Harris has proposed borrowing much of President Biden’s tax proposals as she favors a tax increase on America’s billionaires. This would work by taxing America’s ultra wealthy like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg on their unrealized capital gains. Wealthy investors and Republican nominee Donald Trump have vehemently rejected this kind of tax policy on America’s wealthiest people.
WSJ's Richard Rubin and tax expert Steve Rosenthal break down what unrealized capital gains are and how this policy could work.

Why Young People Are in So Much Debt
Younger Americans face a financial crisis. Their growing debt burden has far outpaced that of older generations, and it’s only getting worse. Generation Z is being hit the hardest, thanks to lower income and the rising cost of everything from food to housing. Bloomberg takes a look at the roots of this problem, and whether anything can be done.
00:00 - 00:54 Introduction to a growing debt problem
00:55 - 03:44 Income and inflation
03:45 - 05:42 Housing costs
05:43 - 07:48 Education and tuition costs
07:49 - 10:37 Doom spending
10:38 - 11:30 What does the future hold for young people?
Read more: How Gen Z Ended Up in So Much Debt 👉 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-10-31/why-gen-z-is-sinking-deeper-into-debt-explained
Young Americans today face a serious debt crisis. And it’s making the American Dream seem more like an illusion.
Both Gen Zers and younger millennials were hit by a nasty one-two punch — the Covid-19 pandemic and then the worst inflation in decades — at critical points in their financial journeys. Now, those aged 18 to 29 are carrying $1.12 trillion of debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While that only makes up 6.3% of the total $17.8 trillion in US consumer debt, it’s still a huge burden to carry at an early point in their financial development.
Such an enormous debt burden has contributed to financial pessimism among young adults that’s changing how they work and spend money, key shifts that may have implications for not just their future finances, but also the broader US economy.

Big tech overwhelmingly leans blue, but a small faction of influential leaders, including Musk, Peter Thiel and David Sacks, have begun throwing their weight, and pocketbooks, behind Trump.
WSJ explains the philosophy, policies and relationships behind the shift, and what it means for Silicon Valley and the 2024 presidential election.
