I have a lot more respect for Duncan's style than certain Economist articles.
A case in point was a little hatchet job some journo-hack did on Sorros' piece on the open society in the Atlantic monthly. I consider that Sorros has demopnstrated empirically a knowledge of markets that few economists and no journalists can claim to match yet the economist decided to have a go at him.
In any case since the piece was principally about political philosophy the Economist interpretation was plain wrong.
