Does the Wall Street Journal Article "How the West (and the Rest) Got Rich" Make a Valid Argument?

The argument proposed in this article is not only invalid, it contains blatant deception. Forgive my typos I am working on a tablet here and this is a lot of text to contend with. I probably should have just waited a day or so but this article really pissed me off. It's a farce and that should be obvious to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of History. "-The EconomistHamilton took advantage of our first banking crisis to fund his Bank of New York with Federal money which he used to settle the crisis and soon after he walked out the proverbial revolving door which politicians use to this day.Why are we so rich? An American earns, on average, $130 a day, which puts the U.S. in the highest rank of the league table. China sits at $20 a day (in real, purchasing-power adjusted income) and India at $10, even after their emergence in recent decades from a crippling socialism of $1 a day. The author does not seem to consider the Opium Wars and colonization of India and the various incursions throughout Asia to be relevant.Consider the magical devices for communication and entertainment now available even to people of modest means. Produced by people paid a pittance for their labor, soon to be replaced by robots . A revolutionary betterment of 10,000%, taking into account everything from canned goods to antidepressants, was out of the question. Until it happened. Ten thousand percent 10,000 % seems to me to be fabricated. If anyone can justify that metric I welcome the criticism. The author completely misrepresents Adam Smith. I will be kinder to her than she was to him and simply omit her quotes rather than castigate her with context."The great source of both the misery and disorders of human life, seems to arise from over-rating the difference between one permanent situation and another. Avarice over-rates the difference between poverty and riches: ambition, that between a private and a public station: vain-glory, that between obscurity and extensive reputation. The person under the influence of any of those extravagant passions, is not only miserable in his actual situation, but is often disposed to disturb the peace of society, in order to arrive at that which he so foolishly admires. The slightest observation, however, might satisfy him, that, in all the ordinary situations of human life, a well-disposed mind may be equally calm, equally cheerful, and equally contented. Some of those situations may, no doubt, deserve to be preferred to others: but none of them can deserve to be pursued with that passionate ardour which drives us to violate the rules either of prudence or of justice; or to corrupt the future tranquillity of our minds, either by shame from the remembrance of our own folly, or by remorse from the horror of our own injustice." Why did ideas so suddenly start having sex, there and then?.... in a word, is "liberty."You might call it: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Originally "Life, Liberty and Property" but the founders of this country were more communal listed than anything else and disagreed about property. Almost all being far left by today's standards in the US.Beyond that, ideas do not have sex. But we have been trading them for thousands of years hundred thousand the last ten of thousands of which we had settled down and started developing. 5000 years ago we had built the Great Pyramid. For several thousand years the world has had architecture and infrastructure, advanced mathematics, astronomy and standard measures. Greek literature was lost to Europe and totally reconstructed by Muslims during their Conquest who spend fortunes and generations Reviving it and produced the some of the best scholarship on Aristotle. Yet this author wants us to believe that ideas are the domain of the European enlightenment which would not have existed without the intervention of Islam, the Mongols the ancient civilizations of Egypt India and China. Thanks Professor of history emerita. I did not know that ideas had sex comma but I am glad to know that my ancestors for the ones who got it goin on.To use another big concept, what came-slowly, imperfectly-was equality. ForWhite Males born to wealthLater in the 19th century, under the influence of a version of science, the right seized upon social Darwinism and eugenics to devalue the liberty and dignityThe West got its wealth just like everyone else did , by taking it and by forcing people to work. We have forced labor in this country again today , otherwise known as slavery.Modern slavery and modern poverty exist due to this sort of propaganda by people like author McCloskey and her sponsor, University of Illinois. McCloskey is distinguished professor emerita of economics, history, English and communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

1. No period between article name and journal, article-only (authoryear-ibid)

This is actually the default if your language setting is (recognised as) American. Then biblatex tries to use American punctuation rules and would move the full stop inside the quotation marks.Unfortunately, polyglossia support is still a bit shaky, so the language variant american is not detected (you get plain english which is basically american without the punctuation setting you want). You will have to enable US-style quotation marks manually withorin your preamble (the latter is what the biblatex documentation seems to suggest).If you use babel instead of polyglossia, this is done automatically for you, if you use american
