This is clickbait. The anonymous author wants to make you angry, and it starts with the headline. The article is shallow and provides no insight into what the program looks like.
If the author gave a shit about actual reporting, they'd provide context about other programs that tried similar things, and their results. How are the kids held accountable? What type of training is offered? Is there a pipeline into internships and employment?
- dogman144 4y agoBefore we besmirch the economists’ good name, worth knowing that the org only publishes under anon authors usually.
- unity1001 4y ago> the economists’ good name Lol.
- class4behavior 4y agoI hope the first part was sarcasm
- dogman144 4y agoDepends how you feel about maintaining the neo liberal world order I suppose
- yuppie_scum 4y agoThe Economist is one of the finest journalistic outlets in the English media.
- unity1001 4y agoEven before it was bought by a far right Japanese outfit, The Economist always bullsh*tted whatever the interests of the English Toffs required. This includes participating in the media frenzy that sold the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs to Western public and all that entailed.
- pokoleo 4y agoCan you cite a source on the Japanese connection? I don't see anything obvious in their Wikipedia pages. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Group I do see Exor (Agnelli), Rothschild, Cadbury, and Schroders families, but nothing clearly Japanese, nor Japanese far-right.
- unity1001 4y agoSorry, that was the Financial Times. Regardless of that tidbit, the other statements still hold true. Unfortunately.
