Perception can often become reality.

Or they just adequatel describe the reality.

So the question is if that essay is right, partially right and wrong, or allout wrong. To assume that the author tells a fiction he wants to see become a reality, is just that: an assumption, maybe even a malicous attempt to reject the message by miscriditing the messenger, but if just stated without providing any hints or even evidence for the author's motivationit, then at least it even is a completely unfounded assumption, as a matter of fact.

The statistics on unemployement, shift in welath structures, social structure etc etc are hardly all becasue of wishful thinling by ameroican analysts wishing the US bad.

I think you make it too easy for yourself.
