I'll save you all a click:

The article answers the question with the following two points:

- lack of strong institutions

- trade barriers

It provides an example of North vs south Korea in defense of the theory.

It's a ridiculously simplistic synthesis in my opinion.

This criticism is always so weird. What should the article - not thesis note, ARTICLE - have been: 10 times longer?

It is almost like people expect comprehensive, bulletproof writing in under 1000 words.

The criticism is not that the article should be more comprehensive, but that the title implies that it is.
