"Wanting" is by definition a feeling. You can measure responses, the act of answering one way or another is a material process. I can trust that the numbers used by "The Economist" are probably accurate, just like I can look in and they use parameters like "freedom for Capital movement" as an indicator of democracy, ie they define democracy as Capitalism.
