    The Economist is British. This is absolutely about ridiculing Americans and their ridiculous ideas of being the envy of the world.

        I hope so, because in a decade of subscribing to that magazine I’ve often seen variants of the “worker rights are bad for the Economy” pitch in their articles and they were dead serious about it.

          I take your point. The economist is anti union and pro free trade, but the last 3 sentences of this particular columnist are anti Trump and spoken truthfully.

            The Economist are about as pure Neoliberal as it gets, whilst Trump and his minions are Fascists which is an ideology were the State sits above Money in the hierarchy of power (though, unlike in Democracy, the State under Fascism is not controlled by citizens), which is exactly the reverse order of what Neoliberals defend, so they’re enemies.

            What they both agree, however, is that the common people with their vote should not control the highest power in the land.
