I used to read the FT and the Economist thoroughly, and felt I was well informed. Maybe I thought they were high-quality publications because their ideology aligned with mine.

But I matured and my blind belief in the power of free, unregulated markets was challenged by many examples of abject market failure in the real world.

I still read FT and the Economist, but with a much more jaundiced eye. Much of what they say is reflexive, ideological, based on either blind belief or self-interest.
