Don’t underestimate the danger of left-leaning identity politics
Classical liberals believe in setting fair initial conditions and letting events unfold through competition—by, say, eliminating corporate monopolies, opening up guilds, radically reforming taxation and making education accessible with vouchers. Progressives see laissez-faire as a pretence which powerful vested interests use to preserve the status quo. Instead, they believe in imposing “equity”—the outcomes that they deem just.

I do not wholly agree with this assessment. The Economist is certainly conservative, though not right wing.
