The British just voted to leave the European Union with much of the vote for the separation driven by Xenophobia and the fact is that the new economic system has left many behind.
The British pound has taken a steep drop. http://qz.com/715669/the-british-pound-is-getting-crushed/
It could break up the United Kingdom. http://qz.com/715751/could-brexit-spark-the-breakup-of-the-united-kingdom/
There will be negative consequences here. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/british-voters-just-unleashed-an-economic-and-political-tsunami-224755
Our local Texan idiots are using Brexit as a model for Texit.

The successful passage of Brexit should serve as a warning here what could happen. An economic that serves elites eventually is going to get opposition.
It will be interesting to see what a heavily populated island with not that many natural resources and long dependent on trading does as an isolationist nation.
It might be that Britain will serve as a warning to other nations what happens when you make these type of choices.

Update: Have copy of review. "The Economist" pulls pro-slavery review of book, trying to track down copy of review and track down who wrote review.
UPDATE: I have figured out that the link has the full review and it isn't just an excerpt.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A COPY OF THE PULLED PRO-SLAVERY REVIEW THAT APPEARED IN THE ECONOMIST?
http://www.economist.com/news/books/21615864-how-slaves-built-american-capitalism-blood-cotton
The Economist pulled the review before I could get a copy. However, if I had copy of the review I could do some forensic analysis of the text and see who might have written it.
Yes, I know that The Economist reviews have no byline. Let's move past that. It doesn't mean that with the text I can't identify who wrote it or find out by other means.

Also, does anyone know through other means who might have written it?
I have emailed Dr. Baptist to see if he has a copy. At least one other writer for The Economist has been named as a possible author.
Could someone at The Economist tell me by email?
From what is available online I can start doing some investigation now. However, the full text would really be useful.
