Would the Luddites have been a useful source to understand how the machines of the time actually worked? Should I expect my local Green party representative to explain nuclear fission coherently? Is Ed Zitron the guy to explain how to implement and train a neural network?

Perhaps you should read a critique of capitalism by anticapitalists and not only The Economist
