Po svoje je zabavno spremljati količino člankov in tvitov, ki jih je The Economist v zadnjem tednu namenil prepričevanju škotskih volilcev, da bi bila razdružitev z Anglijo ekonomski in socialni dizaster. Tole so naslovi na twitterju današnjega jutra:*

• The idea Scots will benefit from independence is a “self-deception so extreme it borders on religious fantasy”
• Scottish independence will be a “messy divorce”, as well as financially costly
• Why Scottish business schools will suffer in an independent Scotland
• Scotland is unlikely to be fairer or more equal with independence
• The sterling union that the SNP envisages would be similar to the euro area: a disaster
• Scotland alone has a bigger deficit than the UK as a % of GDP
• The currency question for an independent Scotland has no answer except deeper and wider austerity
• Looking at the economic evidence, the answer to whether Scotland would be financially better off independent is No
• Bagehot on how a nation went mad
