Thanks. Although this anonymity might give 'editorial independence', how do we know this person isn't just a shill? I publish in scientific journals. I can't imagine our publications being anonymous. I would have a very difficult time trusting anonymous scientific studies, especially ones that have some bearing on political issues or drug development.

This is a very political article.

Also, it's dishonest to suggest that the OWS movement's validity has something to do with about corporate wealth disparity, particularly in listed companies.

This article is garbage.

Yeah, it could be anyone, but it's not out of character for the Economist, it's standard practise.

Agree on the other point though, OWS has nothing to do with corporate wealth, it's personal wealth that's the important measurement.
