The Economist

Let me start by saying that I would recommend The Economist to most people, but for me, it is not worth not only buying it, but also reading it! A paradox? A Contradiction in terms? Well, The Economist is very well written and covers mainly Economy and social affairs and business. Most of the articles do not display the name of the author, the publications comes up once a week, costs 3.25 in UK and is still registered as a newspaper. It contains up to date facts abouot politic, and macro economy. I would surely recommend it to ANYONE who is NOT working in finance. I work in finance and for me The Economist is probably a bit too old, since ...  Read the complete review

I am currently studying economics at A-level and have throughly enjoyed the subject and found it very interesting on a personal level and particularly as it is key in every business, government and country. I am now looking to read economics at university and it was therefore suggested that i start reading the economist. I have since subscribed to the economist for a year and after having been reading it for a few months now have really enjoyed it. The economist is a magazine (newspaper type thing) that is released on a weekly basis. It comes with a rather large price tag of £3.90, but it would be wise to maybe try it once at this price, and then if you feel ...  Read the complete review

Only after having this suggested by my economics teacher and then being given a year's subscription by my grandparents did I pick up a copy of The Economist; perhaps the first thing to put you off is the hefty price tag (£3.90 a week currently) and the second is the sheer amount of News that it contains. Yes, with a capital N. This is not a publication for the faint hearted. The Economist's stated aim is "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress," and this is what they do. News from all over the world is the main substance of the articles, often but by ...  Read the complete review

I am a real fan on the Economist magazine, and have now been a subscriber for about 2 years. I first started reading it as a kid, as my family got it, but always found it extremely dull at the time (I wasnt as sad then as I am now!) However, with age and time, I've gradually realised how much of a quality journal it is. It comes out weekly, and find it gives me enough information to make daily newspapers largely redundant, and a lot more info as well. ------------------ OVERVIEW ------------------ Well I have to admit, it doesnt have the most catchy or sexy name, but the Economist isn't all about economics. Its foundations certainly are ...  Read the complete review

The Economist is a weekly news magazine (although my subscription tends arrive every two weeks). The Economist does have an economic bias; it is not that all its articles are on economics but rather that economists write all of its articles. At the Economist they have perfected the art of writing detailed, well-researched, impartial articles that are completely devoid of any emotion. The economist does not do human-interest stories; even the obituaries seem to be rather impersonal. (None of the reporter’s names are ever featured at the bottom of articles giving the impression that the economist is some separate entity. It seems quite right to say, "the ...  Read the complete review
