“The takes and perspectives contained within sound more and more to me like the gasping, desperate death throes of the unrestricted economics this paper advocates for. Take, for example, the November 28, 2019 episode, which leads with a story about “new data” which supposedly somehow claims to show that income inequality has not risen since the 1960’s! Amazing stuff, that! That was a leading story! At that point, I found myself stepping back and asking how and why a long respected arbiter of fact has sunk to the level of publishing unscientific drivel that attempts to gaslight the entire world off the truth that is plain as glorious day in front of all of us: the system, as currently constituted, has been completely broken by the greed and corporatism this paper has dutifully carried water for under the guise of “better outcomes for all”. Perhaps this review says more about my changing views than it does about The Economist, but WOW these views sound out of touch, especially in the current political-economic climate”
