The Economist: Keepin' it real styles, fo' 160 years.
Nice work, guys. Here is the editors note of sorts.

Money quote:

If protectionism does prosper again in that way, it will be a shame for the rich world but a tragedy for the poorer countries, for it would choke off their best hope of raising their living standards and of defeating poverty

Remember the left wing slogan during the 80's? "Trade, not aid?" where did that go again? I think governments actually listened to that one.
