The Economist Examines The Origin of Wealth

The Economist has a somewhat skeptical review of The Origin of Wealth posted on its site. Their final word on the evolutionary approach to economics:

For the moment, then, evolutionary economics remains a niche pursuit, not the intellectual revolution Mr Beinhocker predicts and hopes for. It is ironic that evolutionists, of all people, should have such trouble reproducing themselves.

My quick reaction: I would expect more from such a magazine than to confuse the immediate popularity of an idea with the amount on insight contained therein.
