Rather, I'd argue that the important thing is that such analyses be grounded in an outlook which takes the whole of our society into account, from the interests of the working class first and then moving up. Much of today's problems can be traced to an Anglo-American societal defect which imposes tops down solutions bearing first and foremost the interests of the wealthy.
And, they must pay for this.
PS - The Economist (for whose parent company I worked for) made themselves irrelevant in the late '90's by going after the US market for growth. A good short term strategy but it required them to tqck ever further to the neo-liberal right in order to stay relevant in America. And, as we are seeing now, relevant in America is bad business for all. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant

And, long overdue. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
