1 glance at the middle of the page, a huge migraine, and i saw half a dozen.... especially the good old "Broken Window Fallacy" repeated over and over again....

I wouldn't be surprised if Business Insider doesn't believe this itself. Then it would be making those statements for the gullible public to eat up, so the non-gullible business elite can laugh all the way to the bank.

Is it all a game?

Who cares?  It's just one extremely poorly written article in some magazine.
