Is it playing stupid or is it careful journalism? Causality is quite hard to prove in a case such as this. While we do have a correlation between lack of broad wealth distribution and lack of entrepreneurial dynamism, it seems to me that such a broad category of economics as "# of young firms" is going to be beholden to numerous variables, including legal climate, taxes, new platforms to innovate upon, anti-competitive practices by the big 5, and a general misallocation of talent where our brightest minds are working on how to increase ad revenue, not increase society's overall well-being.
