I think today's Economist does not correspond to your caricature.

FWIW, they've endorsed the Democrat candidate in 5 of the last 7 US presidential elections, and I'm confident that soon it'll be 6 out of 8.

The free market sociopathy is still there, of course. Nazi Germany no longer exists so they can no longer rationalize doing business with it.

They're doing the same things they've always done, just with modern issues. They'll be just as disgusting in hindsight for most people. A critical reading of them now will make it so that one doesn't have to wait.

PS, you heard it there first: buy slave-made sugar.
