Mahbub ul Haq

Mahbub ul Haq (24 February 1934 – 16 July 1998) was a Pakistani economist and international development theorist, born at Gurdaspur into a Punjabi Muslim family, who migrated with his family to Lahore at Partition, served as chief economist of the Planning Commission in the 1960s — famous for his '22 families' speech on the concentration of Pakistan's wealth — then directed policy planning at the World Bank, served as finance minister in the 1980s, and at the United Nations Development Programme created the Human Development Report and the Human Development Index (HDI), which changed how development is measured worldwide.
