Why I write Economic History
The editors of Himal have asked me to write a brief note on why I write economic history. Having engaged in research and writing on the economic history of Nepal for over one-third of a century now, I could not honestly say no. Besides, I felt that the exercise would provide a good opportunity to review the reasons I have given at different times, and to clarify my thoughts and ideas as to why I have chosen economic history as my field of research.
