That's a hell of a long read. An interesting thing I took away from the piece, though it's not the sole focus of it, is that this article illustrates a bit about how diversity and prosperity in economies go hand in hand. I don't have any links to throw out right now, but it's interesting how I keep on running into that idea again and again in the past few years.
