As to the identity of said journalist, here is an excerpt from the above
Yale link:
"Laurie Garrett is a science journalist and Pulitzer prize-winner; her
best-known work is The Coming Plague. She's a medical and science writer
for Newsday, a daily New York City newspaper; last month, she attended the
World Economic Forum in Davos. "
Who is this "Laurie"? I presume it's not Ben Laurie.
Sounds like a bimbette reporter, flushed with witnessing the "white males" she/he talks about.
Oh, I know of _this_ Laurie. I bought her Plague book several years ago. And it turns out she went to UC Santa Cruz and she has done a few book signings around here...I skipped them, of course. Santa Cruz may well be where she got her ideological slant about "persons of whiteness" dominating the economy.
I thought her report on Davos was boring, frankly, but perhaps I was put off by the weird mix of adulation of and hatred for male power figures.
