The question is how long shall the political power and the so-called micro and macro economist experts in the country continue to advance incomprehensible economic theories that the layman in the village cannot underastand, when all he cares to know is how he can afford not even three-square meals a day for his family, but a square meal that he can survive on with his family till the next day?
