    PS. Just so you know the Economist doesn't give bylines in general. I think its because they want everything to be super uniform and feel more authoritative.

Yes, those are two reasons. But, I think there are others. We don't know if this article came from inside our from outside, or why it was written. Was it commissioned or submitted? This is a strong opinion piece, and nothing ends up in a publication as large as the Economist by accident.
