Instead of reading this article, you can just read "The Peace of Dives" by Kipling... and then look at its publication date.
Off topic: I can’t read this article because it’s behind a paywall. I’m not bothered much by paywalls and paid articles, but FT seems to be quite expensive. It doesn’t have any currency related adjustments or discounts either. So I’m curious to know how those who subscribe to it manage or if they get discounts or get it for free through some other affiliation.
