I actually read the essay in a PAPER MAGAZINE at my local bookstore. Yes, I realize how astounding this fact must be to some of you net hounds! lol

I did visit the Economist.com website but even after a lengthy search could not find it. I believe you have to be a paying customer to gain access to it. Afterall, a essay this good deserves "premium"(restricted) treatment. lol! So much for the free exchange of intellectual property...
