Political Observer on ‘The Paragraphs of Would Be History’ via The Economist!
Feb 08, 2026
The American reader of The Economist’s ‘our review of American History’ in short self-serving pithy paragraphs, and presents it’s self as a ‘review’ instead of a more complex and nuanced History ! In sum this is propaganda, aimed at an auidence whose actual asquentenceship with American History is minimal at best. Even if they are American: The Women and Men who trade in the Business of Markets and other forms of Investments, need a relable source of carefully packedged ‘History’ provided by Zanny Minton Beddoes and her cadre of undelings. To impress others with a kind of glib knowledge: a self-presentation that demonstrates even an ersatz iteration of mastery, in conversation, is another mode of manipulation. The Economist and its writers have harnesed a kind of ‘History’ via the predations of Madison Avenue!
