Happy Birthday to the brilliant Mahbub Ul Haq! If life were a strategic game, you'd undoubtedly be crowned the ultimate champion. Your masterful moves in economic circles not only connected growth neatly to human development but also redefined how we score humanity's victories—not bad at all for someone playing high-stakes economics monopoly!Your work on the Human Development Report continues to remind us that numbers have feelings too—well, metaphorically anyway—and puts people first in every equation. Thank you for constantly showing economists that behind statistics lie people's lives. Here's hoping your latest spin around the sun maximizes happiness and utility!
