Wow. I'm really not sure if I'm going to renew my economist subscription. Things like this make me wonder if the paper is dumbing itself down. I haven't been a reader for long enough to know, but I don't want to pay $100+ for a subscription if this kind of crap is what I'll be getting.
- mahmud 13y agoI'm also flabbergasted this is an Economist article; seems like something I'd expect from The Atlantic, Vice, or Huffpo, not the Economist.
- jskopek 13y agoDon't let the quality of this (admittedly poor) article turn you off from the Economist as a whole. They tend to produce a wide variety of well-researched, insightful articles. They tend to have an opinion on nearly every article, but these are usually defended by data.
- newscasta 13y agoSubtle distinction, this is not an article in The Economist but a blog hosted on their site. I find the quality of the articles quite a bit better than their blogs.
