As a short term solution, I would say they're probably right. However, sane advice would be to look for a sustainable alternative. I guess it's just because they have a liberal bias, but in any case I can't see The Economist proposing a slower, yet more sustainable growth.

"After double-digit growth for much of the past decade, sales have slumped" - you don't say... or perhaps they expect that rate of growth to continue without end? Yes, it was a bubble.

-For carbon tax [3]

(all imho: ) They are traditional liberal, and / but with a realist approach to economics. Massive market failures exist and need work. Market failures more often originate in government, than that new market failures need more government.
