This rag, where the editors all hide behind anonymous bylines (and when they do reveal themselves, they predictably turn out to be ghouls like the failson of a MI6 director), has been consistently on the wrong side of history since its inception. Its founder got his wealth from the opium trade and the Economist defended and advocated for both Opium Wars along with vocally supporting the Confederacy. And those are just merely listing the things that Marx himself denounced them for. Proving their talent of writing cowardly anonymized depraved trash transcend both time and genre, their book review section includes shamelessly scolding scholars for writing books about the history of slavery where, for some reason, "almost all the blacks in his book are victims, almost all the whites villains."
