“The separation of business and politics” (January 16, 2015)

I always admire Badrul Ahsan's articles.
While the piece is well-written, it misses the fact that our economy is a regulated one. Much of the business is sustained and nourished by the government. It is difficult to grow in business in BD without the patronisation of the government. It is not a free economy with easy access and entry. In such an economy, business can't be separated from politics.

Very nice read. Some sad universal truths were revealed; it was nice to hear them and understand them in new light.
