The Economist Reviews

I have been reading the economist for over a year now, initially on their app which provides the many stories for free. This is a great option for those of use who do not have a lot of time and want to just read the main articles. I found it a great way to spend a Saturday morning. For those who are put off by its name, the economist ...  Read the complete review

It was my husband who introduced me to The Economist and I have been a devotee for around 5 years. We have a subscription now which costs £27 per quarter, and it's great to hear the magazine hit the doormat on a Friday. I have never been much of a fan of daily newspapers, finding the broadsheets too large to handle and not enjoying the ...  Read the complete review

My GP recommended to visit the local swimming pool's steam room to recover from my nasty cough so I went to the local Sainsbury's to buy myself a bottle of water and I was tempted to bring something to read. I was wondering where the readable magazines are as I never buy women's magazines, they are rubbish. I was about to give ...  Read the complete review

The Economist's only error is its name. Every week this newspaper (as it calls itself) drops through my letterbox, utterly full of news, politics, book reviews, columns, business news and yes economics. I am convinced it would get the readership it deserves if people only knew there is an alternative to the mainstream UK press. I have ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have felt myself becoming extremely disheartened by the state of the broadsheet/nontabloid newspapers. The Guardian turning into something exceedingly smug; The Independent becoming downright annoying and The Times and The Telegraph too rigid with their ideologies. On a whim I picked up The Economist, the issue just ...  Read the complete review

I started reading the Economist because a friend bought me a subscription for my birthday present- I thanked him but secretly dismissed the present as rubbish. The magazines came in every week and soon began to pile up, unopened, in a stack which I would pretend to have read if my friend ever visited. This routine changed dramatically ...  Read the complete review

If you consider yourself a well informed, global citizen, then the economist is probably already your publication of choice. Yes - leave it on your coffee table, read it on the tube, stuff it into your handbag just a few minutes late after arriving at your desk - the Economist will give you a well deserved aura of success and culture. ...  Read the complete review

The Economist goes way beyond just economics, take it from someone who is barely passed Econ 110, this is not an academic journal on macro trends. That being said, its not a dumbed down version of anything either! The Economist is a weekly (cones out Friday) news magazine that covers your basic international relations, economics, current ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Now I know that for writing this review, I’m going to be classed as a nerd, so in defence I have to say that ‘The Economist’ is a desired reading material, extra to the normal big fat, boring, text books and journals that I’m supposed and expected to read as part of my course. For all of those people who ...  Read the complete review

I study Mathematics at University and towards the end of my second year I began to think about actually getting a job. One area I know that Mathematicians are often employed in is the Finance world. However, despite the fact that this type of work appealed to me, I didn't have a clue - I thought 'Blue chip' was a mouldy ...  Read the complete review

Throughout my A level years, reading the economist was considered extra reading. However the information provided was intelligible to the masses and was short enough to keep the reader interested and concentrated. The economist comes out once a week and provides the weeks major business and political affairs. What makes one ...  Read the complete review

I haven't bought this magazine for about 6 years, and I must admit, I actually quite miss it these days. In order for you to understand this review a little better, let me paint a background picture.... When I was in the 6th form, I studied "A" level English, History and Economics. I was interested in all ...  Read the complete review

The Economist is a veritable institution amongst magazines, offering not just economic insight in the world today but also political insight. As well as assorted articles about growth sectors and growth industries, there are a lot of listings for job vacancies in the economics sector. As economic trends are normally bucked by political ...  Read the complete review

The Economist is the best newspaper for detailed studies of (1)issues (eg. the importance of the internet) and (2)countries (eg. Moldova, in the Sept 23 2000 issue). Some examples - LETTERS : Canadian Melissa is in the Ivory Coast and has Malaria. She goes to a clinic. The doctor gives her pills for male sexual ...  Read the complete review
