...articles should not be written by folks without knowledge of the subject matter... I realize opining on subjects, with neither education nor experience, and expecting an opinion to be seriously considered, is a libertarian trait - hell, I have to fight it in myself - but the reason article is a bit absurd.

Valid points on the economics, but not all cultures can be part of “civilization” - and, frankly, China is proving itself to not be. Civilization cannot work, when it tries to interact with low-trust societies, and treat them as if they are high-trust.

I was just doing a search on how Sweden was fairing, no recent updates. Probably an indication that they are doing ok. I assume if it was going to shit it would be all over the news .
