> the economist publishes articles of extraordinary quality

No they don't. They offer fluff. This article is just fluff and years old news. Maybe because I work in the tech industry, but this article didn't offer anything of value. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that $100 billion dollar fund dedicated to tech investing ( especially in developing nations ) is going to have an impact.

the paper has been in circulation for close to a 175 years and is ranked as the most trusted journalistic publication ( https://www.rjionline.org/reporthtml.html ) - do yourself a favor, get the print edition convince yourself. I've been a reader for years and highly recommend it.

The NY Post has been in circulation for over 200 years. Not sure what your point is.

That isn't a good thing. Think about it.

Does it seem like I've never read the economist to you? It's information pollution. You are dumber and more misinformed for having read it. The economist along with every other media publication should come with a warning like cigarettes.
