Glad you liked it ;p

The article presents a different narrative. You are right, there is not a lot of substantiation going on. I'd make that same criticism about most articles outside academic papers, though. We're just more used to accepting the assumptions those "Forbes", "Business Insider" and NYT articles make, because they're repeated a lot.

That's why I got into the habit of doing the fact-checking myself if an article's proposition strikes me as remarkable / plausible but insufficiently documented. Maybe you think it's neither - and that's fine, too. Fact is, I don't consider the "official" narrative about what's going on with our economies terribly plausible.

It'd be nice if we were able to somehow show a message before someone is sent to a link. It'd be good to let people know what one thinks is interesting about a site, offer additional information or caveats.
