as for the article's other half...
...they fail -- on purpose or through their dogmatic blindness, it is unclear -- to recognize (or acknowledge...) that the corporate system has hijacked government systems the world over. So, we are, in reality, face a runaway groupthink situation, courtesy of corporate power, that the Economist's writer merely
hypothesizes could happen under state bureaucracies.

...that's cool. I bit the bullet and bought one article credit online ($2.95) and learned everything you just said!
All your assessments of The Economist notwithstanding, it's heartening to see this stuff, in any form, getting so far behind "enemy lines" these days.

Sorry...
...there are very few bylines in The Economist, so I can't tell you the author.
Also, i must confess to cheating a little. You'll notice I made it clear it wasn't the complete article. The economist, being the pro-corporate mag it is, couldn't resist a final (and fairly nonsensical) paragraph debunking most of what had gone before. I can let you have that too, if you're interested, though I think it's better without!

Who is the writer of the article?
Damon...this article is so good. Thanks for posting it. In fact, I plan on bringing the article to a job interview tomorrow. Not a subscriber to The Economist, I can't figure out who wrote the article; neither the person's byline nor the article is available via the publication's Web site. Do you happen to know who it is?
