So what are the people at the Economist like? You said they're not all fresh college grads--are a lot of the writers much older? Are they as undeservedly full of themselves as they seem?

Yeah I read that exile article or maybe another one that talked about how shockingly young all the writers were, the impression I had is that it's like a young apologist class first job before a career as a writer defending interventionism and the IMF or something.

Plus the way they write combined with their implied age allowed me to imagine them all as precocious undergrads who use words that, in the immortal words of j dolan, "should be a felony for anyone under eighty"
