> Most people who manage to get inside the Economist-tower quickly realize why the magazine does not have bylines. The writers all seem to be in their 20s. If the reader knew that the article about the ECB that made him sell his government bonds was written by a newly graduated philosophy student from Oxford who shares a flat in Hackney with four bloggers, he'd choke. The cocksureness of The Economist comes from the debating style taught in the British elite universities, where students are trained to pick any topic and quickly argue one side of it.
