 Great publication! Just don't get it from Amazon... June 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't get me wrong. I love the Economist. It's a very well written, objective publication. I would recomend it highly for those people who want to get great coverage on global news but are tired of the left-leaning/pesimistic news from the hometown newspaper.
My problem is that I have never received one single copy from this subscription with Amazon. In fact, this is the 2nd time (out of 2) that I have been snubbed on a magazine subscription. My advise would be to bypass Amazon and go straight to the publication. There seems to be a disconnect between Amazon and certain publications.
The Economist is to Time as Time is to People June 9, 2008
I love it - The Economist's US coverage is more in-depth than any weekly I know. The international section is my favorite.
It's great! May 29, 2008
Pound for pound the Economist provides more interesting reading than any other magazine I can think of. I often disagree with their editorial stance, but the articles have very interesting analysis, especially when compared to the superficial coverage provided by many American magazines.
Best global weekly magazine in the world April 12, 2008

If you can only subscribe to one news weekly, I would suggest The Economist. I've been reading it for almost thirty years and am never disappointed. Combining incisive reporting with humor and a bit of serendipity, The Economist is a must-read in today's global world.

The Economist is a British weekly news and international affairs magazine which contains high quality articles on current affairs, economy, business, and some science and technology. It contains articles that cover many countries and regions of the world. The articles are often analytical in nature and do not reflect any obvious political bias despite the fact that the economist takes an argued editorial stance based on classical liberalism. The target readership is educated people in general (not just economists or business people).
The Economist also contains interesting financial data and statistics of various kinds. The economic and financial indicators are published at the end of the magazine in every issue. The statistics is often used to compare countries, economically, politically, socially, and in other respects, which is something I am personally interested in. The magazine is sold extensively in both Europe and North America. Some people in Europe consider the Economist to be "conservative" and some people in North America consider it "secular humanist". In my opinion both viewpoints are more or less correct. I used to read Newsweek, Time and the U.S. News, and I still do sometimes, however, the Economist is a more interesting magazine that is still easily accessible. Reading the Economist is for me, one of the best ways to relax.
