The Economist holds to it's guns, until it's proven 100% the other side of the argument in fact is correct. After which they change tack. It's not only value but ALSO data driven publication. Although it's in some positions ridiculously conservative, it's also an excellent bellweather on the current 'accepted norms' in discussions on "macro scale economy stuff".
They changed tack on climate change and ecosystems disasters about a decade ago. After that it was pretty obvious the current trend on full economy scale climate action (starting from Wall Street using ESG in major fashion as a criterion) was coming.
