Missing Spoiler Alert: should you be inclined to read the book (this is a book review, not a full-fledged article) rather than a trivial summary, do not read past the first paragraphs. I am disinclined to agree with the assertion and certainly not to the exclusion of other factors - though I suspect and hope the article glosses over the relative importances thereof whereas the book may treat them a bit more sanely. It is an interesting hypothesis, nonetheless, and certainly makes me want to read the book for the full analysis.
