Re: The Economist's sad hack job (4.00 / 2)

Well, ET is definitely a good place "to be more widely informed", whether you like it or not :) and whether you were looking for information in the first place: it's a (welcome) by product. As for your prejudices, there's a good chance they might be thoroughly challenged as much as reinforced...

Certainly the "groupthink", "conventional wisdom" or however you like to characterize it, is quite a long way from that which you encounter elsewhere.

It is one thing to be sourly cynical about the motivations and knowledge of the elite decision makers (my own personal forte), it is another to consistently offer different perspectives which demonstrate there are real and preferable alternatives to the idiocies on display.
