What does ‘soaring’ mean? Are economies ‘rivals’ to each other? Are we in a race? Where is the finish-line?

Thank god for this instructiveness of this headline for remediating the apparent deficency of the economics classes I took in university and in business school. /s

The business press makes me want to gag sometimes, and trims our mindset to keep us plebes in an unnecessarily competitive mindset with respect to each other. Who do you think benefits from this narrative? What are FT’s interests here? Subscriber revenue? Ad revenue? What are the interests of those stakeholders?
