The idea of writing notes for Cambridge A-level Economics came to me in 2003, when, having
already taught for a year, I realized that no single economics book available in the local and
international markets covered all the topics with the depth and perspective required by the CIE
syllabus. Both students and teachers had to consult 3 to 4 different books to find all the material
that they needed—private candidates and new teachers had it even worse. Furthermore, it was
really difficult for students to keep having to refer through different books when the exams were
close and they were starved for time. I took on the challenge and decided to write a
comprehensive text that explicitly followed the syllabus and exam pattern of the CIE. A year and
a half later, in the middle of 2004, I had finally written and published four entire volumes of Alevel economics notes. Part of them had been hand-written, and part of them had been typed.
Soon, word of their usefulness spread, and they were bought all over Pakistan.
