Everyone I meet from Kathmandu these days is a millionaire it seems. In fact most of those people would probably register in the upper strata of American society as well. I had read a few weeks back that 60% of bank deposits (800 billion rupees) and 40 percent of the country's GDP is attributed to Kathmandu.

Not the same with people that come from outside the valley. Most of them still seem very barebones and struggling to make it. 

Has the gap between KTM and the rest soared in the past decade? Isn't that a big slap on the face of all the communists? Or are they just promoting crony capitalism which has brought wealth to a few and misery to the rest?
