Sample sent to my kindle. Thanks for the recommendation.

I agree with you about Forbes. They've been damn insightful of late, and engaging to read. It makes me wonder if I'm getting old.

The Winston Churchill effect, perhaps?! (Paraphrasing) "If you're conservative when you're young, you're without a heart. If you're liberal when you're old, you're without a brain."

Kidding. I don't think that's it. I think Forbes has made some serious editorial choices. They'll still throw shit like this http://hubski.com/pub?id=9728 and this http://www.forbes.com/sites/billflax/2011/09/01/obama-hitler... (Hitler was actually a left winger, and capitalists are now persecuted just like the like Jews!) at you from time to time, but I think that their readership maybe isn't as ideologically conservative as they once thought. They seem to have made an effort to center it up a bit.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what they have to say over the coming year. I expect it will be interesting economically, to say the least.
