Your two mediocre wannabe economic columns (Economic Sense and Strictly Business) haven't communicated anything of substance for months. Neither writer has the data to back their arguments nor do they use economic theories to explain their anecdotal analyses. The two pieces on oil politics and the NOC are prime examples of the mediocrity ('Oily ruckus', Economic Sense, #313 and 'Fuelling discontent', Strictly Business', #312). They list out the problems, which Nepalis are good at, without telling us how opening up the market will ease the problems of pricing, adulteration, corruption, cartels and above all, building trust. Please find more substantive business analysis delivered in a crisper and more intelligent manner. Or shut down columns that don't add value to your paper.
