Haven't read it yet

But I thought the following blurb might snag the interest of a random liberal malcontent or two in the linked article:

NEW STUDY SHREDS MYTH THAT A MARKET ECONOMY BRINGS DEMOCRACY
It's a finger in the eye for the likes of the Times' Tom Friedman and other
prophets of the beneficial effects of globalization: a new study of 150
countries, to be published next month in the prestigious establishment
journal Foreign Affairs (published by the Council on Foreign Relations)
demonstrates conclusively that the conventional wisdom which says that free
market economies inevitably bring democracy in their wake is a myth.
