I was able to bypass the paywall using Google Search’s “cached” view of the page.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:_Uum_1PMdaoJ:https://www.ft.com/content/f9455749-3597-481e-9812-f1c6c6116ebf&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari

As for the content, although I agree with some of the tentpoles to this article, the rest seems a bit saggy. It’s more of an op-ed piece without much more than subjective opinions. If the Financial Times wants to paywall this kind of stuff, they’d better make it worth the price. (This definitely wasn’t.)
