I hate to disappoint you, but they are not 14 "kids" but 14 millennials the Economist chose to talk about: "In our 31st edition, we include a special section featuring forecasts from 14 globally-minded millennials, ranging from a Syrian refugee-turned-photographer, an iconoclastic Chilean reggaeton artist, one of ballet’s biggest emerging names and leading online voices for young Africans and Muslim American women."
Thanks, that is pretty conclusive. I wonder if there's some Laurel Canyon / mkultra type insanity with these rising stars. The unstraightforward presentation makes it seem very suspicious.

I already downloaded the pdf version of this number and the millennials pics are those of the stars. However, I bet the artist did intend something.
