I mostly agree with the point of this article, but I also mostly agree with the 2 commenters below. The Economist is generally a pretty shallow publication that has somehow managed to market itself as being deep and incisive. This article is (like almost every article they publish), shallow, content-free, and anecdotal. Much like the other article on the front page, which I also mostly agree with, but think that the reasoning behind it is a joke. Just about every publication on the planet works harder to argue their point, while the Economist assumes this godlike manner, without attribution, substance, or argument.
