Well, that was an amusing read, and very British. Perhaps not quite your experience or mine, but then again, she's hobnobbing with people like "Agustín Arias, owner of one of the country’s oldest estancias" and "Maria Davila, who helps run an estancia called La Maipú on the shore below" of "the electric blue San Martín Lake in Patagonia". I don't know any people like that.
Then again, she is the FT's "asset management editor", and obviously knows her audience well. Connections, exclusivity, elite status, these are the things that appeal to people with money anywhere, but doubly so in Merry OId England.
Still, it was worth reading, even if it did nothing to reduce my gut-deep dislike of the British press. And the quote from Simon Kuznets in the penultimate paragraph made me literally laugh out loud. So very true.
