WOW, your explanation is brilliant and detailed! Now I definitely understand the author's meaning!! The difficulty here is all about referential phrasing. If you can find what part referring to, you can totally understand the meaning!
@A J L Thanks so much for the feedback. I have already started getting reference letters and working on my personal statement. I am hoping to have the statement completed by Nov. 1 so I can have it all in. Again, thank you.

Definitively start reading the economist ASAP. I read about 2 articles a day, everyday! It has helped me a lot. Make sure you understand what you are reading. Make note of authors VP and things like reffential phrasing.
