Take a step back and think “why would the economist publish such an analysis that is clearly subjective”?
The answer is the analysis gets tons of press, people get worked up over the rankings, share the link, more eyeballs, more arguments, more eyeballs —> more ad revenue.
It’s the same reason starts up do blog posts of analyses, it’s free PR.
Pretty clearly it works based on the HN discussion alone.
