Yes. They are writing in English (none / 0)
and preaching more inequality.

This is not new news, they've been at it since the 1970s...old habits die hard.

And the rich die harder.

Exile Classic: The Economist: The World's Sleaziest Magazine - By Mark Ames - The eXiled

If you go back toThe Economist's beginnings in Victorian England, you'll find, for example, the magazine's brave stand on the Great Irish Famine, the English-led genocide that left up to two million Irish dead. When a cry went up to stop the famine,The Economist countered, "It is no man's business to provide for another. If left to the natural law of distribution, those who deserve more would obtain it."

But back then, they were pushing for maintaining deadly inequality.

Now they are pushing for more inequality...distinction but perhaps one with little difference as you suggest....
