The Economist for News A review of The Economist Magazine, November 24, 2009 Submitted by: LearningMum More than any other resource, I can depend on The Economist for objective analysis of current events. Realistic or Just Plain Negative? A review of The Economist Magazine, November 24, 2009 Submitted by: Pilotdave from MA We have now read this magazine for nearly two months. While we were prepared for - and expecting - a more-balanced outlook and more inciteful reporting as compared to, say, Time or Newsweek, we were not expecting a near-continuous negative perspective on President Obama's policies and performance. It is difficult to believe that there is nothing in either as evidenced by the past several months about which The Economist could find positive things to say. Perhaps the magazine's editors should take a walk in the hopes of gaining a fresh, less jaundiced perspective. We are unlikely to renew. thanks! A review of The Economist Magazine, November 24, 2009 Submitted by: mh I enjoy the different perspectives that The Economist provides. Well-written. Best political magazine around A review of The Economist Magazine, November 24, 2009 Submitted by: Trains from Lowell, MA This magazine is an objective review of world politics and is great for the classroom if used the right way. Thank you! The Economist is excellent. A review of The Economist Magazine, November 24, 2009 Submitted by: tchurch The Economist does a great job at keeping me up to snuff on all the latest issues in America and the world. My only problem is finding the time to read all of the informative, clearly written articles before the next issue comes. intelligent but flawed A review of The Economist Magazine, November 17, 2009 Submitted by: yankeedam from Westport, CT Economist may be the best news mag out there, "Time Magazine for grownups" as one guy called it, but at its hefty price it had to please me. I have two complaints: First and least, it whips through USA news with half a dozen articles and then explores, in depth, developments in countries that will never affect my life. Sorry to seem provincial, but I'm one of those dummies who still can't draw a map of Africa without peeking. The other fault is what finally got me to cancel (thanks, MagLine, for your great service): Economist has subtle but rigid control over its writers. They want Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan (easy for Britain to say), and every article about any subject seems to slip in an editorial to "send troops already." Not ethical journalism, in my humble opinion. Everything you need to know and more A review of The Economist Magazine, November 17, 2009 Submitted by: Michael C. The Economist is one of those publications that is great in the sense that it is truely global. If you ever wondered what happens in other parts of the world, from food trends to economic meltdowns, the economist is the magazine to get. Best of all, it's so packed with information (there are very few ads beyond classifieds), each issue is usually enough to keep you reading all week. If you can make it through an issue and say you really read and understood every article, you deserve a promotion! A review of The Economist Magazine, November 10, 2009 Submitted by: Cathy Stokes from Granite Falls,, NC The Economist gives a wide viewing of multiple topics. It's viewpoint is more worldwide than Times and hits on many more subjects. You never know what you are going to read about which means it is unpredictable and that in itself makes it unique as well as interesting. Great World News A review of The Economist Magazine, November 10, 2009 Submitted by: Shanes Realty from Spatanburg, SC I think of the Economist as World Press on steroids. It is chocked so full of great articles from around the globe that I simply can't find enough time to read half of them before the next magazine arrives. It is the only magazine I find worthy of subscribing to. The Economist offers excellent analysis and in depth articles. A review of The Economist Magazine, November 8, 2009 Submitted by: Voracious Reader The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, November 4, 2009 Submitted by: Seven from Spencer, IA I am enjoying this magazine. I feel it doesn't sway to one side of the left or right. I feel it is a fair magazine with many good articles covering the world thoroughly on a weekly basis. Kudos to the writers. A review of The Economist Magazine, November 3, 2009 Submitted by: S. S. S. The economist gives reader very indepth coverage and mostly neutral perspective. It is vastly better than most american periodicals. Great!! A review of The Economist Magazine, November 3, 2009 Submitted by: sky full of current issues and useful articles A review of The Economist Magazine, November 2, 2009 Submitted by: empost Top-notch reporting from a perspective that looks beyond most American media. The articles are interesting, meaningful, and concise so as to be accessible for folks with busy schedules. Highly recommend it! The Economist is well written! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 27, 2009 Submitted by: Charles The Economist is well written! best source of world news, period. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 27, 2009 Submitted by: eluk there is no better source for world news than the economist. all the articles are concise, direct, and well researched. Old World Drivel A review of The Economist Magazine, October 27, 2009 Submitted by: Ted The editorial staff is the worst. Opinion runs rampant and these are the Iraq war Rah Rah folks. I really like the different political perspective this magazine offers. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 27, 2009 Submitted by: Pup from Mammoth Lakes, CA I like the wide array of articles and topics covered in the Economist. The language is not dumbed down like other current event/news magazines. They provide thorough, comprehensive coverage on a variety of world topics: Iran, China, Britain, the United States and too many other countries to mention Depth and breadth... A review of The Economist Magazine, October 27, 2009 Submitted by: jz as a teacher of AP macroeconomics I can't think of a better current events publication,,, A must read for the individual investor A review of The Economist Magazine, October 21, 2009 Submitted by: Pipelinemarv from Bellingham, WA I like the world view of political, social events and their impact on world economics. The articles on individual foreign investor opportunities are enlightening and valuable. I find myself eagerly reading the various analysis for usable data. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 20, 2009 Submitted by: Mike A The Economist provides a very complete synopsis of world events and issues- helps me stay in tune with a broader world view. Right-of-Center Newscoverage A review of The Economist Magazine, October 20, 2009 Submitted by: Daniel from Riverside, CA It's great to be informed, of course. It would be somewhat of an exaggeration for someone to claim to be informed without getting a broad range of perspectives, and a variety of opinion. For me, The Economist is an essential component of this. Smart, reasonable, and well-written, I appreciate The Economists' Tory take on subjects even when I don't exactly agree. Overrated A review of The Economist Magazine, October 20, 2009 Submitted by: amador It's good to be informed in worlwide events under the cover of one single publication, but _The Economist_ is just an expanded series of op-eds on politics from a centre right standpoint. No individual journalist will take responsibility for its contents because (this one of this magazine's dirty secrets) many of the writers are recent graduates or current grad students at UK and US elite universities. Really smart guys but sorely lacking in professional experience. If you don't believe this, read the articles closely and you'll notice that they are merely an illustration of social, political and economic thought of some major professors. Notice also the judgmental tone. Despite the senatorial tone of its writing, the articles generally lack a lot in terms of fact checking and I'd even say human empathy. If you're interested in politics, it's a good magazine, but take its prescriptive attitude with a grain of salt. For economic and consumer news, I recommend _Business Week_. For social issues, definitely _Harper's_ Economist lacks umph A review of The Economist Magazine, October 20, 2009 Submitted by: michael714 from Newbury Park, CA Hello, I was expecting more from the Economist. Right now, I also have a subscription to Times and I find that their articles are more informative. I was expecting to get more detailed and technical analysis from the Economist and I've been disappointed. The magazine offers too much in the way of opinion and not enough in technical details. May be the best news magazine around! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 20, 2009 Submitted by: French_Taoist Very thorough and insightful news coverage. Int'l Political News - the best, hands down. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 16, 2009 Submitted by: Sean from Norwalk, CA So many in-depth articles - mostly one-pagers, but enough analysis to keep you busy for awhile. Covers the entire world, and does so with great impartiality, and thoroughness. I love this magazine! Thank you for making it affordable for the first time ever. Five Star A review of The Economist Magazine, October 15, 2009 Submitted by: Chip One of the most amazing magazines I have ever read! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 13, 2009 Submitted by: Sharon The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, October 13, 2009 Submitted by: Susan This is a fantastic magazine. I love the different perspective on world issues. I wonder how I survived before I got The Economist! Thank you. The Best A review of The Economist Magazine, October 6, 2009 Submitted by: B This is absolutely the best weekly news magazine available! Don't order this unless you're REALLY REALLY interested in international finance and politics! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 5, 2009 Submitted by: A Excellent discussions of current events across the globe! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 4, 2009 Submitted by: PHabel from Lafayette, CO This is a comprehensive source of information for those who want to know what is going on around the world. The special sections on technolgy, trade, etc. are worth the subscription price all by themselves Pleasant surprise A review of The Economist Magazine, September 29, 2009 Submitted by: Glenn99 from Sun Prairie, WI The depth of international coverage eclipses any other magazine I've see. A pleasant surprise. Economist is Excellent A review of The Economist Magazine, September 29, 2009 Submitted by: Tim from Pascagoula, MS This magazine is amazing and very indepth. I have used it in all my classes and have found it incredibly informative, particularly about people and places Americans often do not hear about. Excellent coverage! No political bias! Great work! Excellent way to stay on top of foriegn affairs A review of The Economist Magazine, September 29, 2009 Submitted by: joe from lebanon, pa excellent way to stay on top foreign affairs without the left spin from the networks or the right spin of Fox very informative A review of The Economist Magazine, September 25, 2009 Submitted by: did I really enjoy this magazine. It keeps me up to date on all financials. I have had this subscription for several years now. best value for your dollar Through Economic Lessons A review of The Economist Magazine, September 23, 2009 Submitted by: Nancy Up to date and through on the issues facing the world in economics. This is a very informative and easy to read magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, September 15, 2009 Submitted by: Phil from Greensboro, MD Economist...a must read! A review of The Economist Magazine, September 8, 2009 Submitted by: Mary Lou from Mountain Top, PA Filled with relevant, up to date, well written information...IMHO, the best news magazine out there! Fantastic Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 18, 2009 Submitted by: Homeschool Mom of 2 For domestic & international news & information, The Economist is all you need. I'm even tempted to cancel my Wall Street Journal subscription that I've had for more than 15 years. This is an extremely informative news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 11, 2009 Submitted by: Sam The Economist is an excellent magazine for world news. The most informative magazine out there A review of The Economist Magazine, August 11, 2009 Submitted by: Kristabell from New Brighton, MN The Economist really gives us the news we need to know about & can trust. World news and terrific writing A review of The Economist Magazine, August 10, 2009 Submitted by: hxxhxx from New York, NY The Economist is fantastic, great breadth of coverage with rotating in-depth analyses. I love it, I rely on it, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I particularly like the year-end double issue, which has lots of articles on fascinating stuff. Great Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 5, 2009 Submitted by: erasmus777 The Economist is a wonderful magazine. As others have said, it does a great job of highlighting major world news in a succinct manner. For those who criticize it for "liberal" bias, you've missed the mark. If anything, the The Economist has a libertarian slant (or "liberal" in the European sense) so it's not easy to categorize by the usual American political categories. To give you an example, since 1980 The Economist has endorsed the following presidential candidates: Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Kerry, and Obama. The latter two were fairly reluctant, so you can always be sure, that whatever the editorial stance, the articles and positions you read will be well-reasoned even if you disagree with them. It's like a information punch in the face A review of The Economist Magazine, July 27, 2009 Submitted by: mskiles314 Each weekly issues contains more information than a month's worth of Newsweek, Time, and US News combined. It's like those publications are news magazines for children and this the adult version; I find it difficult to get finished with each issue before the next one arrives. You think you're informed? This weekly will show you how ignorant you are. Informational A review of The Economist Magazine, July 21, 2009 Submitted by: Phylgramm Information is succinct, but thorough I Love The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, July 20, 2009 Submitted by: Joey from Indio, Ca Great magazine. It covers the spectrum politically, globally, and it's written in an easy to read and grasp manner. I am the guy with the most up to date detailed info on what's going on in the political world with the info I draw upon from The Economist! unbiased world news A review of The Economist Magazine, July 14, 2009 Submitted by: Cappy from Oxnard, Ca Best unbiased weekly magazine to keep you up-to-date on world news. Worth every penny. I enjoy the short fact based info in this magazine, much better then anthing else out there because you don't end up paying for some bozo's opinion. Same old tired liberal philosophy A review of The Economist Magazine, June 30, 2009 Submitted by: Thoughtful conservative The Economist has interesting articles, and lacks the distressingly common preoccupation with so called celebrities. However, it has the same old tired liberal bais of many current events magazines. I bought a trial subscription a couple years ago, but let it run out without renewing, due to this liberal dogma. Sections and Indexes A review of The Economist Magazine, June 30, 2009 Submitted by: silvia from west palm beach, FL It keeps me well informed about what is happening all over the globe. I particulary like the presentation of articles in sections with an index of what each section contains, which makes it easy to find the articles we are interested in or want to review at a later date. Five Star Source of Worldwide News A review of The Economist Magazine, June 30, 2009 Submitted by: Ray from McKinney, TX The Economist is the outstanding source of news from around the world. In-depth, fact-filled articles on countries and issues relevant to citizens of the world. I appreciate too the book reviews. Best subscription decision I've ever made. Insightful, Intelligent, and Fun Reading A review of The Economist Magazine, June 8, 2009 Submitted by: Lamanster from Alhambra, CA Week after week The Economist comes through with concise and no-nonsense articles. The clarity of each story makes it so much more refreshing and in-depth than other popular news magazines provide. A review of The Economist Magazine, June 2, 2009 Submitted by: Mimi I like the international news coverage the best. Read it Cover to cover A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: Melly from Austin, TX I've always enjoyed the magazine and am pleased to have been able to subscribe. My partner and I read it cover to cover. We appreciate the European view and enjoy your thoughtful, clear and concise writers. Great magazine! A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: Jordan This is an informative magazine and keeps me updated on current events. Great pastime reading... A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: honeybnnj from Riverside, NJ I filled in for a subscription...and I am totally pleased with it! I love the articles and it is really refreshing to sit and be taught some times. Thanks for the subscription. This is a great news magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: Nicole from Cary, NC The magazine is organized, up-to-date, and has very good international news. Fantastic News Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: MellieK Unlike most news magazines, The Economist focuses on world news, the articles are at a higher level of understanding and the scope is much larger. I love this magazine! International point of view A review of The Economist Magazine, May 26, 2009 Submitted by: Bob from Staten Island, NY Wanted to read something that wasn't edited within the United States. I'm up to my 5th issue,so far, I think I've found it. The Best News Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, May 22, 2009 Submitted by: Max from Petaluma, ca I am enjoying "The Economist" very much. I like that the magazine gives so much news about what is going on in all of the world. The news is up up to date and has a broad view of world events. The political news and what is happening in other countries are my favorite articles. I will contnue to look forward to the coming issues. A review of The Economist Magazine, May 19, 2009 Submitted by: FickleJIm Great magazine. Overwhelming amount of material to read in a week but that's my problem, not theirs... I need to learn how to pick and chose better. They've resisted the "need" to be trendy and thus "relevant" which is a good thing. Strong US/Euo bias, but that's better than the US-centric view of so many other readily available news magazines. The best review of world economics A review of The Economist Magazine, May 19, 2009 Submitted by: imgdoc The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, May 13, 2009 Submitted by: bluedog from richmond, ca Informative, but not the slanderous commie rag promised by Cheney, et.al. Excellent Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, May 12, 2009 Submitted by: A1 from CT Great Magazine for those who want to keep intouch with the Business and politics both in the US and Abroad. love it, though it is depressing A review of The Economist Magazine, May 12, 2009 Submitted by: teacher good educational tool A review of The Economist Magazine, May 12, 2009 Submitted by: j High Quality Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, May 6, 2009 Submitted by: Professor Russell Eisenman from Edinburg, TX This is a high quality magazine, dealing with many different things, some of which are very interesting to me, others that I skip: from cars (which was of great interest to my neighbor Ram but not to me) to how evolutionary psychology can help us understand things like crime (top quality article), to politics throughout the world. Some of the politics stuff is of interest to me, especially the parts about the USA. Also, there were several very good articles about innovation and how the USA, India and China lead the world in this area. I find the articles often show high quality thinking and are well written. Those lads from the UK have done a terrific job in putting out a high quality magazine. If you are like me, you will skip most of the articles but, nonetheless, the ones you read will be of sufficient high quality that you are glad you have this publication. Great international perspective A review of The Economist Magazine, May 5, 2009 Submitted by: joeprice from Louisville, KY The Economist offers American readers a wonderful view of the world -- and a wonderful view of the U.S. from a world perspective. Every issue improves my thinking. Every week and full of bad news A review of The Economist Magazine, May 5, 2009 Submitted by: superstar I like to know what's going on (really going on) in the world and when I finally get a periodical that tells me I find it somewhat depressing. As a weekly periodical this is overwhelming. As soon as I get through one whopping issue another one comes. Who has the time for all of this magazine reading? The stories are interesting, the information is compiled from multiple sources and having them all in one magazine is convenient. This is not as informative as I had hoped for. A review of The Economist Magazine, April 28, 2009 Submitted by: Econned from Newport, TN broad information, well written A review of The Economist Magazine, April 28, 2009 Submitted by: inas from Corvallis, OR The Economist delivers a broad range of international topics, well explained, well written, deep information with the occasional piece of English humor, much appreciated. Well balanced and always interesting articles. I am looking forward every time I find it in the mail. this magazine is unreadable A review of The Economist Magazine, April 21, 2009 Submitted by: hancock from Hazel Green, AL I hate this magazine. It is hard to read and choped up in so many small stories that I would not recommend it to anyone. Good world views and news A review of The Economist Magazine, April 16, 2009 Submitted by: Bamabob Good global news Excellent magazine - not unbiased! A review of The Economist Magazine, April 16, 2009 Submitted by: Shorty I read the Economist pretty much cover to cover every week, for its well-rounded coverage of world events. I can't think of any other publication that does as well at condensing the information you need to have to be an informed citizen of the world into a magazine-sized publication. That said, DONT believe the silly reviews above that say it's unbiased! Its stance is profoundly in favor of neoliberal, free-market economics of the Adam Smithian variety. So it's hardly surprising the Economist comes out strongly in support for globalization, deregulation, foreign investment, the development of new third-world markets, and free trade as the appropriate motor for development and the promotion of global well-being. If that's not an ideology, I don't know what is. Read the Economist for many reasons, but don't read it because you think it's unbiased. In fact, one of its prime virtues is taking a strong interpretive stance: then you can either agree or disagree. This is on of the best economic and political news magazines . A review of The Economist Magazine, April 14, 2009 Submitted by: Wren from Richmond, Va This magizine helps busy people keep up with the political and economic trends and predictions. Well informed, well written, and funny too. A review of The Economist Magazine, April 14, 2009 Submitted by: YU from Bala Cynwyd, PA I am often disturbed by the negative image of Israel and its Jewish leadership as portrayed by the Economist. Excellent world coverage. A review of The Economist Magazine, April 7, 2009 Submitted by: Kirk from Provo, UT The Economist is an excellent magazine that provides an international coverage on a weeky basis. Well written, not biased in any one direction and informative. The only problem is that it is so big that you have to pick and choose articles to read. I couldn't live without it. An honest reporting of the Economic News A review of The Economist Magazine, March 31, 2009 Submitted by: Lay Reader I really appreciate an unbiased reporting of the economic issues, which is not covered in the TV and radio media. It is definitely from an economist point of view but that is important as we view what is happening to our economy now. Balanced Wordly Magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, March 31, 2009 Submitted by: soo t Excellent Alternative Weekly A review of The Economist Magazine, March 31, 2009 Submitted by: Dave I find The Economist an excellent alternative to Newsweek or Time. The articles are more in depth than those weeklies and they have a wider perspective, in part because the magazine is not so America-centered. That's refreshing. I read Newsweek every week, too, so the comparison I am making is clear. I am getting used to the more newsprint/small photo layout of The Economist. Best "International News" magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, March 31, 2009 Submitted by: Mary This is a great magazine for finding in-depth articles on events happening throughout the world. I often find articles to share with my advanced ELL (English Language Learner) students, who especially enjoy reading about current events in their country of origin. Great read & info for business class A review of The Economist Magazine, March 26, 2009 Submitted by: Cathy from Budd Lake, NJ The Economist magazine articles are clear and concise. Everything going on in the economy is right there and up-to-date. A quick read of an article and ability to bring that knowledge in to the classroom is a wonderful time saver- and this is the reason the magazine is so valuable to a business teacher! Excellent Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, March 25, 2009 Submitted by: 88mister from Pomfret, MD I very much enjoy reading The Economist magazine. It is the perfect combination of world and national current events. Unbiased magazine, the best one out there. A review of The Economist Magazine, March 24, 2009 Submitted by: monkey Excellent Realistic European view of Finances A review of The Economist Magazine, March 18, 2009 Submitted by: MAC from Chicago, IL THey tell it like it is without mincing words about US bullying of the world's economy. Great news and accurate articles A review of The Economist Magazine, March 17, 2009 Submitted by: Linda from Squaw Valley, CA The Economist is a great magazine. Its so refreshing to get the news without bias. Thank you. A review of The Economist Magazine, March 17, 2009 Submitted by: la princesa Excellent magazine. Very informative on a wide range of topics. Timely information and analysis. good insight into the economy A review of The Economist Magazine, March 17, 2009 Submitted by: frenchy42 The Economist is the world's best news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, March 10, 2009 Submitted by: Eric The Economist is the world's best news magazine. Its articles provide a wonderful global perspective on economic, technological, medical, educational, and political issues. Awell-rounded synopsis of the world's events. A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: Jeremy from Ankeny, IA As an educator, I find The Economist to an indispensible source for reliable, accurate and credible information from a slightly different perspective. The Economist improves my curriculum. Refreshingly insightful A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: SavvyDavvy from Pasadena, CA The Economist beats Time and Newsweek hands down when you want to go beyond the headlines and soundbites. Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: tsm This is a great magazine. It takes me almost a whole week to read it before the next one comes out because there're so many interesting articles in there. It provides a comprehensive view of the important issues in the wrold today. Excellent for Learning Beyond the Classroom A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: Alex from Lockport, NY I am an undergraduate business student at the University of Pittsburgh College of Business Administration majoring in Finance and also pursuing an Economics minor. My business and economics professors have reccomended The Economist, and it is a great source of learning outside the classroom. A free-market advert in disguise A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: Mike I will not ever spend my own money on this magazine. It has a quietly and sneakily hidden agenda pushing the free-market Milton Friedman nonsense that has drifted us over the past four decades into the financial meltdown we are now suffering. I find value here by informing myself about the arguments waged by those who would like to keep me believing that freedom is chosing which store to shop in. Excelent coverage of world news A review of The Economist Magazine, March 3, 2009 Submitted by: jimmy from Santa Ana, CA The Economist provides excellent coverage of world news. The articles are very readable and informative. The magazine has a conservative bias for sure, but the bias does not appear to get in the way of determining relevent global news affecting us all. By far one of the most well-written English magazines out there, bar none! A review of The Economist Magazine, February 25, 2009 Submitted by: ChinaManDan from Pullman, WA This is my first year subscribing to The Economist and I LOVE it to death. Not only does the style and rich language of advocacy journalism just gush out from its seams, but it's so good I have great difficulty just finding the time to read it back-to-back. As a college freshman, it's wonderful to pore over its contents ranging from economics, world affairs, and the only obituaries that I actually feel a pang of sadness after reading it (the recent obituary about the Russian journalist was particularly heartbreaking). The variety of stories that are not often found in American counterparts is awfully refreshing as well, taking a more world-view perspective rather than the often repetitious kind found in American media that focuses on celebrity issues far more than, say, looking into cholera outbreaks in Zimbabwe. And although it, clearly, defines its stances with classical liberalism albeit with a carbon tax, it is one of the least biased readings that attempts to describe both sides of an issue (but sometimes I wish they could make up their minds on a political stance) and they seem to, unusually, love to take criticism from its readers.When compared to Time or Newsweek there is no argument as to whose is superior. Buy it. I promise this will be something worth your buck. Great Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, February 10, 2009 Submitted by: desertdreamer from SLC, UT I feel very informed after reading "The Economist." I am currently a full time student and I work, so I have a harder time getting them all read, but if you want to know what's going on in the world- "The Economist" is your kind of magazine. All Around Best A review of The Economist Magazine, February 10, 2009 Submitted by: Bob from Kirkland, WA Thank you for providing a news magazine that covers the important issues internationally as well as nationally. I subscribed to "Business Week" for a year but found that it was narrow in its coverage of issues important to us. I switched back to the Economist and, even though it costs more, I'm happy to pay the extra amount for the coverage you provide. A review of The Economist Magazine, February 9, 2009 Submitted by: Mr. B Almost has more news then I can read in a week. A review of The Economist Magazine, February 3, 2009 Submitted by: Amrit from Brisbane, CA The Economist covers economis issues on a global level which is what I like the most. one of the best world magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, February 3, 2009 Submitted by: MN I love this magazine because it provides information about the world issues, not just about domestic ones or the ones that the US has the closest interest in. A review of The Economist Magazine, February 1, 2009 Submitted by: karen from Coos Bay, OR THe magazine is full of pertinent information in the international arena highlighting political and economic concerns. Liberals for GW Bush? A review of The Economist Magazine, January 29, 2009 Submitted by: bucherwurm from Lakeport, CA It's interesting to read in these comments that The Economist is a "leftist" magazine. Then why did they endorse Bush in 2004? I think it is a great magazine that doesn't hesitate to speak its mind ony either side of an issues. Sometimes I agree, and sometimes I don't, but I love The Economist. It's a magazine for grown-ups, not a mag for 8th graders like Time and Newsweek. I actually read it all! A review of The Economist Magazine, January 29, 2009 Submitted by: Jackie from Lexington, KY There were so many interesting and intelligent and well written articles and not one bit of nonsence. I was forced to watch Fox news discuss the possibilities of aliens over the Inaugeration that a serious magazine is a relief from media people writing like the puddingheads they seem to be. The Best is Yet To Come A review of The Economist Magazine, January 28, 2009 Submitted by: The Rev from overland park, ks My name is Rev Francis sr, I beleive that the economic wiil get better and better as long as we as the people of this United Sates, work with the New White House. We as the people did not come to this very bad economic over night and we're not going to get out of it over night. If and only if we as the people of these united states can come together, we can over come any and everything that anyone can bring our way. Like I said, "The Best Is Yet TO Come" Give him a chance. God Did...... I like it very much. It's much better than TIME. A review of The Economist Magazine, January 28, 2009 Submitted by: Maggie AP QUALITY A review of The Economist Magazine, January 27, 2009 Submitted by: KatherineS from Hudson, Oh I selected The Economist as I frequently use the articles in my AP English Language & Composition course. Best magazine on politics, economy and the state of the world A review of The Economist Magazine, January 27, 2009 Submitted by: Mahrya This is a great magazine that gives information on everything I want/need to know about wat's happening in the world!!

Evidence of this is the amount of letters that are printed from outside the United States. Issues that are covered range from politics to economy to the latest issues in the environment. Very interesting magazine that is a worthwhile read. The best, most erudite news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, January 13, 2009 Submitted by: AK Sailor from Anchorage, AK American maps place us in the center of the world, as does our news coverage. The rest of the world has a different viewpoint that is equally valid and perhaps more instructive. The Economist is beautifully written and extensively researched. The entire planet is the focus with in-depth articles on each week's ares of conflict, be they economic or social, military or civilian. We have found that their analysis of America's political system are spot-on and allow us to see ourselves as others see us. If the Economist has a problem, it is that it takes more than a week to plow through the magazine: it's just too rich for a cursory review. We've been subscribers, on and off, for many years, but with a bit more time to read, we are thrilled to subscribe again. In-depth articles about major topics A review of The Economist Magazine, January 13, 2009 Submitted by: Molly from Hickory, NC I especially like the variety of articles. THE ECONOMIST is NOT an easy read. No quick flipping through the pages. With my current life-style, it takes me at least a week to finish an issue. But I enjoy it. Okay Economics Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, January 13, 2009 Submitted by: JAC from Salem, NH This is a good magazine and I was hoping to use it more in my 10th grade economics class, but it may be a bit too advanced for my students. Overall, not bad. Packed with great info for social studies A review of The Economist Magazine, January 13, 2009 Submitted by: ohiobear1920 from Greenville, OH This magazine, The Economist, is just packed with a lot of great information dealing with domestic and world issues. This works well for me since I'm a social studies teacher always looking for current event issues and historical connections. I like the academic nature of the magazine in that is goes heavy on content and light on the media in the form of images. Great for the mature reader who wants to be challenged with new ideas or events they only thought of briefly. A review of The Economist Magazine, January 12, 2009 Submitted by: Chema It is a good magazine, if it were less leftist and more centered The best resource I have found for teaching my economics class!

The articles serve as excellent educational resources and allows for differing views to be brought to the forefront with the intent of simply providing a platform without unreasonable or attack style journalism. Favorite weekly resource. Period. Ever. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 24, 2008 Submitted by: dgordic from Cape Coral, Fl I am a person who truly despises the hype and hyperbole of the mainstream media. I don't care about Britney, OJ or the latest scandal of the week. I want to know what is really going on in the world- from every aspect. And so I scour (reputable) alternate news sources- the BBC and online newspapers for the most part. Imagine how pleased I was when your magazine arrived and I found much of the information I wanted gathered for me, with indepth articles on the major topics of the week. I can't believe that I didn't turn to the Economist sooner. My only problem? Now I've got to find the time to read it cover to cover Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, December 23, 2008 Submitted by: Arshad from San Jose, CA A very comprehensive and informative magazine. A must read for anyone who wants to know what is happening in the financial as well as political world. This is the best, most intelligent, informative magazine on the world's stage! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 23, 2008 Submitted by: Senior citizen from Austin, TX As unexpected as possible, The Economist consistently manages --on a weekly basis-- to draw seemingly unrelated events into a comprehensive world view. The interconnectivity of isolated situations throughout the world provides one a global perspective! The special sections are books in themselves. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 19, 2008 Submitted by: Zen Bar none, the best magazine for keeping abreast of goings-on worldwide. The Economist helps keep me informed so my opinion can be as educated as I am. The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, December 17, 2008 Submitted by: C.A. from Wyoming, DE The Economist gives a European view of what is happening around the world and in the United States.

I am beginning to understand what the consequences of our economic struggles will be. The articles are in-depth and appear to be mostly unbiased. International News Source A review of The Economist Magazine, December 9, 2008 Submitted by: Fran from Ocala, FL This magazine gives superior coverage of international news - far better than Newsweek or Time, for example. Not only are the articles well researched, they are also well written, which makes them doubly pleasurable to read.

The magazine provides insightful articles on stateside and world issues. The Economist is written at level beyond Time and Newsweek. Great information and analysis of current issues. Excellent news source, particularly finance/econ-related A review of The Economist Magazine, December 3, 2008 Submitted by: ATL Student The Economist is known as one of the oldest, most upstanding news sources in English. The Economist focuses on current major political and economic issues and provides either short clippings or more in-depth coverage on these issues. The Economist, as a whole, leans to the right--trade liberalism and globalization are two of its tenets--but nevertheless represents well the mainstream opinion (and should be taken as such). In depth, insightful and well written A review of The Economist Magazine, December 2, 2008 Submitted by: Stan Fantastic articles, very little advertisements, balanced viewpoints, plenty of substance. Solid news and business magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 2, 2008 Submitted by: Greg H. from Little Rock, AR The economist was ordered as a teaching aid for a middle-school econ. class.

The Economist is Dynamic to the globe A review of The Economist Magazine, December 2, 2008 Submitted by: ev from Glencoe, Ky The Economist is Dynamic to the globe as it represents so many aspects of the econonomy,. From my little corner in rural america where I don't even know if ten other people in my county have ever heard of the Economist magazine. Then I get the privelage to read about other corners big and small all around the globe. That is what makes me an Economist reader and looking forward to each issue. Keep it coming! Earl from Kentucky A review of The Economist Magazine, December 1, 2008 Submitted by: af I didn't realize how extremely left-wing democrat this magazine was! I thought it would jus tbe a good news report of the weekly economic status of this country. I don't even want to read it. Top notch International Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 1, 2008 Submitted by: HokieDevil Though they are in the tank for Obama just as badly as the rest of the press, this is the go to magazine for an international view of all things American and European. Weak on Asian news and commentary, though. Best weekly news mag you can buy! A review of The Economist Magazine, November 28, 2008 Submitted by: Catharine from Mars, PA Hands-down worth every penny. The Economist brings news from around the globe that is well written and with little spin. As a huge bonus, you can download each issue in MP3 format to listen to on your MP3 player or burn to CD. Outstanding!!!! Better than TV by far for world news! A review of The Economist Magazine, November 25, 2008 Submitted by: Lochnest from Little Rock, AR The economist offers comprehensive coverage of world news, particularly, of course, from an economic standpoint. The articles are always well written, to the point, and relatively unbiased. If you are looking for one magazine to keep up with fast-changing events, this is it. The weekly format is excellent for this purpose. Highly Recommended. Comprehensive information--great writing A review of The Economist Magazine, November 21, 2008 Submitted by: KitKat This magazine always gets read. It does not end up in a "To Read" pile. I love the breadth of its coverage and the expressive talent of its writers, including the editorial innuendo--even when I don't agree. Great in-depth articles. A review of The Economist Magazine, November 19, 2008 Submitted by: Pumpkin from Columbia, PA The Economist deserves its reputation as a well-rouded source of information about global concerns.

The Economist is among the most informative and unbiased publications around. The Economist gives me a global view. A review of The Economist Magazine, November 18, 2008 Submitted by: Maggie McDonald from Glen Haven, CO In reading the Economist I find a wide lens to view the world. The articles bring me up to date on events and attitudes that I would not find in my local paper. Thank you for making this affordable. Adequate for Educational Purposes A review of The Economist Magazine, November 17, 2008 Submitted by: Social Studies Teacher While I think the content is suitable for my classroom needs, I tend to find the articles rather one sided. I believe in giving students both perspectives of the coin, and don't feel this magazine really does that. But the articles are well written, and have enough content to assist in explaining econoic theory. Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, November 16, 2008 Submitted by: cstrez I like the wide variety of topics covered all over the world. The articles are short and concise.

It covers both very specific domestic issues as well as broad worldwide topics, giving both my husband and I a variety of articles to choose from. We switched from Time Magazine to The Economist. We're glad we did. Better than terrible, but not quite great A review of The Economist Magazine, November 12, 2008 Submitted by: ConservativeEducator Some wonderful information about world affairs and economic conditions, but tends toward a condescending view of the United States, especially toward the conservative segment of our nation. Rather disappointing in this respect. Strong writing A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: AnnMarie from Springfield, MA I ordered this magazine because I know that economics is a weak area of mine and I'd like to raise my awareness on the global economy. I am very pleased to find that it has been a helpful tool to expand my knowledge base. It is written in a way that provides challenge, and does not dumb down the subject matter. I also don't need to have a terminal degree in economics or international business to understand it. I am pleased with this choice. Additionally, I loved the cover of last week's issue "It's Time". Not only did I post it up at work, but it sparked a great deal of interest amongst my friends, some of whom purchased a subscription. Keep up the good work! The best World Perspective A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: Keti Colbert from clifton park, ny I enjoy reading the articles that appear in the Economist magazine because it provides a world view perspective on the social,geo-political and on global economy. This further offers a comparative analysis of how I as a US citizen fit into the scope of other nations at large. This education is of such that I have often tried to impress upon my teenage sons. I was very happy when my now 21 year old son expressed an interest in the magazine. I would like to restart my subscription for this purpose. Thanks Keturah Excellent (and overwhelming) A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: Jennifer Economist is an excellent magazine because it covers so many parts of the globe.

The Best Magazine for economic classes. "Liberal" A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: Econ Teacher from Council Bluffs, IA So far, I have found the articles interesting. I felt it was a little unjust to declare Obama the winner before the election, but it was a good way to sway votes and unjustly influence the American people. Great - Non-Partisan A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: selecter70 from Somerville, MA the least partisan paper out. A bit dense for the non-economically educated, but great analyses of world events.

The only place to go for sober analysis A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: Colin from Alexandria, VA There is a reason that The Economist is the most respected newspaper in the world. It offers expert analysis on all of the key issues of the day. Sure the price is high, but it is a small price to be for a year of being well-informed. Reading the Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, November 11, 2008 Submitted by: charly from Tulsa, OK The Economist is a very informative magazine. It is filled with articles that are right now topics with added historical references. I would recommend this magazine be read by Sarah Palin as it will help to bring her up to speed. Please send her a subscription for the US in case she runs in 2012. Wonderful information - Disgusting politics A review of The Economist Magazine, November 6, 2008 Submitted by: PSmith from San Francisco, CA The Economist is informative, but its editorials and the slant of its reporting is egregiously pro- Neocon / New World Order / western / militarist / Milton Freedman's failed policies / imperialist / colonialist / white man's burden. They have never heard of a Neocon policy that they didn't adore. They have no idea of a multilateral, multi-polar, multi-ethnic, socially conscious or in any way progressive world view. Nor of anything not jingoistically pro-western. I suspect that because it is British, it may combine a sociopathic corporate world view with the worst snobbery and pretensions of the British class system. Read it for the facts if you must, but be warned that if you have a heart you will grit your teeth every time your pick it up. I am keeping my subscription until somebody remedies these defects with a competitor. When they do, the Economist will quickly join the Neocons in the dustbin of history. Other than that it is great. :-). Noam Chomsky says that the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal are the most accurate sources of information, because those running businesses have to have a fairly accurate view of the world. Unlike the view of those who rely on the MSM. Also, he says, the FT does that without the ridiculous editorials of the WSJ, so the FT is 100% accurate reporting. Overwhelming analysis of the world in political and economic terms A review of The Economist Magazine, November 5, 2008 Submitted by: chinadragonfly A review of The Economist Magazine, November 4, 2008 Submitted by: Dee Great Information Smart View of the World A review of The Economist Magazine, November 4, 2008 Submitted by: Stargirldd from TX There is a reason why The Economist is so expensive, no place else in the world can you find such well written and concise articles on American and world politics.

The title says it all A review of The Economist Magazine, November 4, 2008 Submitted by: Ron from MO The evalutions and insights on enonomies whether by country or the world in general is outstanding.

A News Magazine with a True Global Perspective A review of The Economist Magazine, November 3, 2008 Submitted by: wilr from Franklin, TN The Economist standsout for its thorough examination of the economic, political, and social problems here and abroad. As a educator , I can not begin to compare Time, Newsweek, or US News and World Report with The Economist. After years of reading these magazines and as a new subscriber to The Economist , I truly believe it is the best single publication for insight to the cosmic issues we face. I look forward to receiving each issue and wholeheartedly endorse it to other educators. This magazine is so informative. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 31, 2008 Submitted by: linda from Las Vegas, NV I have learned about economical and world problems that I had never read about before.

Great Perspectives on Current Events A review of The Economist Magazine, October 29, 2008 Submitted by: Amy The Economist always gives a different view on world events (especially events in the United States) than the mainstream media in the US.

I hope to be more informed and knowledgable as I teach my class. Best magazine ever A review of The Economist Magazine, October 28, 2008 Submitted by: AC Slater from Framingham, MA This is a dense magazine of about 100 pages of small font. But if you have about 5-6 hours per week to read ANYTHING, it should be this magazine. Let me repeat this statement in another way. If your brain could only read for about 5-6 hours per week, dont read anything but The Economist. In that time, you will be caught up on everything from the US economy to what's going on in South Africa at this very moment. We need to stay informed. We need The Economist.

Pleased with your excellent comprehensive coverage of weekly world news events, but irked by your stubborn irrational right-wing bias A review of The Economist Magazine, October 14, 2008 Submitted by: Ravi from Chapel Hill, NC My wife and I enjoy your publication for both the breadth of coverage and depth of analysis of the most important world events of the week. We find your magazine to be insightful and thought-provoking. The one criticism we have consistently had over the years is your persistent right-leaning bias and stubborn refusal to acknowledge that you were wrong about supporting the Iraq war and the Wall Street deregulation, despite how both of these judgments have failed miserably and blown up in your face. In a similar vein we are irked by your unfair hostility toward Gordon Brown and Barack Obama, while giving much leeway to George Bush and John McCain and David Cameron.

I'm not as up-to-date on personal financial information as I should be (even though I have been keeping up with the financial meltdown on Wall Street on CNN), and I don't understand everything I read, but the articles are very insightful. I think that I will be learning a great deal about the world's economy & how governments work from this magazine in the next few months. Thank you for such a well-written, well-organized magazine. It's going to make me a smarter person.

It is unbiased and states the facts as a teacher of Economics I find it an indispensable source and recommend it to my students Great for the global classroom.

Good Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, October 7, 2008 Submitted by: "Chip" This has been a good magazine for me.

The Economist's World Politics section is comprehensive,objective, and offers a variety of topics. A review of The Economist Magazine, October 6, 2008 Submitted by: Mike World Class! Best world news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, October 6, 2008 Submitted by: Rolf from Washington, DC I'm always amazed that the Economist comes out weekly -- it's impossible to read the whole thing in a week! Good world news source, as is the Financial Times newspaper and the International Herald Tribune (even if owned by the NYTimes) A review of The Economist Magazine, October 2, 2008 Submitted by: Rebecca I find this magazine, The Economist, to be very fair and very thorough in covering world events. I first read in in Europe at my daughter's house (they subscribe) because it was the only publication in English at hand. I quickly realized what a treasure it was! It is not partisan or biased, in my opinion, but seems to report both sides equally. I appreciate a magazine that gives all the facts and allows me to make my own judgments. A good magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, October 2, 2008 Submitted by: Redneck from White Creek, NY Gives a broad overview of what is going on. Sometimes short on detail Unsurpassed coverage of International Economics A review of The Economist Magazine, October 1, 2008 Submitted by: Gloria from bronx, NY The magazine is the only one of its kind that provide a thoroughly global perspective on economics and finance. Given the current economic turmoil, I am devouring its articles and, as a teacher, am encouraging my students to read them as well. In Depth News! A review of The Economist Magazine, October 1, 2008 Submitted by: Susannah Excellent coverage of world news and excelent writing A review of The Economist Magazine, October 1, 2008 Submitted by: jm-beer The Economist is what Time magazine used to be with an even broader world news coverage. The English/European style of journalism is fun to read. American journalism tends to be always politically correct. The English/Europeans don't at all mind telling the emperor that his new suit has been a very stupid idea which has exposed his want of mental acuity and other things I also really like the fact that the magazine, like BBC, gives me a view of America from outside America. The view isn't un- or anti- American, but when America(ns) have the Emperor's new suit on.................... informative A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: beth Great! The articles are news worthy. 5 stars not enough time... A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: rick from New York, NY .... not enough time in the day of a teacher to read every word of The Economist like I'd like to. Thanks for making this subscription available!!! The Economist provides the best overview of world political and economic news A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: Cyndi from Hummelstown, PA By providing insightful articles on the economic and political forces shaping countries and regions throughout the world, the Economist is without peer. Essential for any SS Educator A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: Jim from San Francisco, CA Without the information I get in The Economist I do not think I would be an effective teacher in my AP Economics classes. this is a very helpful, informative magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: Bev from oak ridge, tn The Economist is informative and very useful in teaching economics, both college prep and AP Econ. I am using the material on a daily basis. Excellent A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: Mr. C EXCELLENT! This will be great to use with all of my Economics classes. A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: tweety Solid magazine in an unstable time! Excellent magazine on World Economies A review of The Economist Magazine, September 30, 2008 Submitted by: Kevin from Garden Grove, CA If you are looking strictly for a magazine on the U.S. economy, this is not for you. Business Week would be a better choice. Yet if you are looking at the global economy and each continent, this is the magazine for you. It tends to run a bit left in social issues, but does an excellent job covering all financial sectors fairly. I highly recommend it. My 1 grip A review of The Economist Magazine, September 17, 2008 Submitted by: tkk from san antonio, TX There is so much information in each weekly issue that I find myself falling behind. Its not really a problem its just awesome how much world news is neatly compiled in the weekly publication. It almost presents events in a theatrical way; even though you generally need to read at a college level to read and comprehend the articles. That's another reason why I like it, its not dumbed down. Good magazine! A review of The Economist Magazine, September 9, 2008 Submitted by: Sally from San Francisco, CA I enjoy the world news overview. I think many magazines from the US don't have comprehensive world news. Anyone can read it. A review of The Economist Magazine, September 9, 2008 Submitted by: Deb Henry from SLC, UT I love this magazine. It covers a ton of topics -- on every subject you could imagine. It gives good exposure to many different world topics from a relatively consistant point of view. The articles are also manageable in size, so you can pick it up and put it down very easily. There are not a ton of advertisements either. GREAT ADDITION TO DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS A review of The Economist Magazine, September 8, 2008 Submitted by: SAM from San Antonio, TX IT IS GREAT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT PRESPECTIVE IN THE WORLD OF NEWS AND THE ECONOMIST GIVES ME THAT!!! In an uncertain world, a certain sign of intellect A review of The Economist Magazine, September 8, 2008 Submitted by: Donald D from Atlanta, GA I've heard it said that subscribing to the Economist is a pro forma requirement of being a graduate student or having a graduate degree. I certainly know that when I see strangers on the light rail reading the magazine, I immediately think better of them -- strangers or not. The only thing I'd add is a regular section summarizing contrasting views published in non-U.S. media. could be better A review of The Economist Magazine, September 8, 2008 Submitted by: Couldbebetter from College Station, tx The strength of this weekly is its comprehensive, in-depth coverage of most world and US events. Some of the "weaknesses", for lack of a better word, of the Economist lies in its wilful promulgation of cultral insensitivity - ranging from often almost race-baiting article titles (eg. "Five-ring circus", in reference to the Beijing Olympics, Aug23/29/08, page 35; "Sweet and sour pork", in reference to Chinese inflation, Mar 15-21/08, p.90) to racism-tinged attempts at humor found often throughout the various articles. Excellent material. A review of The Economist Magazine, August 28, 2008 Submitted by: david The material is good and educational. Biased opinions but worth reading Excellent On the Issues! A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: Kenny I enjoy the way that the Economist addresses the issues. Unsurpassed Business and Political Collection A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: Bobby from LA Extremely detailed and comprehensive. Easy to read and very informative. #1 Business and Political collection out there by far! A Thought Provoking Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: Joe from Sylvania, OH I love reading The Economist. I feel I can get an idea what the rest of the world is thinking. I especially like the thoughts of the people in Europe and Great Britain on our current dispicable Repulican Administration. I think I would like to migrate to Denmark. The Economist review jgp A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: goat farmer from charleston, wv The Economist is a great journal. The information is detailed but not so much that it becomes a chore to read. It is not cover with adds like some other newsmagazines (Time, Newsweek, etc..). The only problem is the cost is high but you get what you pay for. I would easily rate it a 5 star. Excellently informative world news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: Mama Cat from Plainfield, VT The Economist is one of the best weekly magazines which focuses on world news, political and economical. I always feel real read through the week as I read it cover to cover before the next issue arrives. A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: Molly It is great!

A review of The Economist Magazine, August 12, 2008 Submitted by: jiarenq from New York, NY Best current affairs magazine around gets better every year A review of The Economist Magazine, August 5, 2008 Submitted by: MarcusM from San Francisco, CA I have been an avid reader of the Economist for many years and to this date it is a weekly ritual that I thoroughly enjoy. The writing style, the objective perspective on issues and the coverage of such diverse topics makes it a must read every week. In fact, it travels around with me throughout the week and entertains me in my downtime moments. Look out for the audio podcasts too - you can listen to those articles you did not manage to read. Regards, Marcus M The only news source you'll ever need A review of The Economist Magazine, July 22, 2008 Submitted by: pink from Dallas, TX The most reliabe source for political and economical news and analysis from around the world. Interesting articles, not too much advertisement A review of The Economist Magazine, July 15, 2008 Submitted by: Falcky The title says it all. biased but comprehensive coverage A review of The Economist Magazine, July 14, 2008 Submitted by: willsettleforit If you are into thinly-veiled neoliberal economic propaganda, this is the magazine for you. On the flipside, the weekly coverage of major events is quite comprehensive. Best in Weekly News A review of The Economist Magazine, June 27, 2008 Submitted by: Ziek This is the best weekly news magazine that one can find anywhere. Very few ads and great reporting on world news. If you only have time for one, this is it. A review of The Economist Magazine, May 8, 2008 Submitted by: Norm from NY, NY Very highly recommended A review of The Economist Magazine, January 15, 2008 Submitted by: JennyInABottle from Rockville, MD My husband is a mid-level economist and PhD. My parents gave him this subscription as a gift. He looks forward to receiving it every week and takes the time out of his busy schedule to read it from cover to cover. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 20, 2007 Submitted by: bartlomiej from washington, dc This is the best political/international business weekly by far Best for a world view A review of The Economist Magazine, December 18, 2007 Submitted by: Tad from Chicago, IL The economist gives a world-view of issues. It is a bit Euro-centric, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The quality of the reporting and diversity of articles blows away the stand US news magazines. Excellent: Objective - Insightful A review of The Economist Magazine, December 18, 2007 Submitted by: Raimu Best magazine for educated readers. Period.

I defintely recommend it to others and will probably be a subscriber in the future JUST AWESOME! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 12, 2007 Submitted by: erin Covers it all A review of The Economist Magazine, December 12, 2007 Submitted by: Jonjuan I always enjoy The Economist b/c it covers everything and it covers the whole world. It has expanded coverage of the US, but its international coverage dwarfs American newsmagazines like TIME and Newsweek. I could never go back to those. Informative news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 12, 2007 Submitted by: Pat Gives good international perspective on global issues Excellent magasine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 12, 2007 Submitted by: Jack Excellent magasine. I find it both interesting and enjoyable to read weekly. Best source of international and business news A review of The Economist Magazine, December 12, 2007 Submitted by: kclavender from San Francisco, CA I believe that The Economist is the best source for International News as well as for information about business and the world. Published in London, and with offices around the world, it carries news and profiles issues not normally found in state-side periodicals. Worth getting if you want to stay ahead of the rest of the pack. Best news overall A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: Rafi from Minneola, FL It is very difficult to find a magazine that includes the relevant news of the whole world in an organized and systematic fashion. The writing is clear, not simple and definitely what everyone else reports. It demands time and attention and with their new mp3 capabilities is better than ever. The Unrivaled Source for News and Politics A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: Michael from Dallas, TX The Economist is a rare magazine. It is in depth and yet published weekly, comprehensive and yet the articles are short enough not to be intimidating. I actually read it. And I find myself far more informed, and from many more perspectives, than I would be if I only watched TV news, read a national newspaper or a popular weekly like Newsweek. The more lengthy "special reports" are also often worth reading. I subscribe to five magazines, and this is the one that I actually read. econ the winner A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: parducci from San mateo, ca I find this magazine to be a lifesaver when it comes to being knowledgeable about world events. It should be required reading for everyone. The best news magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: John This is by far the best news source--radio, tv, internet, or print media--availible at any price. Very good weekly world business news publication A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: Cissie Reading The Economist is a good way to learn how the British view the USA--and gives an understanding of the world's events without being filtered through the American press. I very much appreciate the business items, but the political is also informative. Best News Mag A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: E R Neel from Houston, TX It is the only magazine I have read cover to cover. And now that I am a professor it gives me current events to test from. Their books are good also, and some of their products such as the diary are well put together. Neel By far the best magazine for world news. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: vkb from Chicago IL, IL Although the reporting is unashamedly conservatively biased, the facts are generally complete. The US press often ignores inconvenient items that do not support its editorial position. This is much less likely in the Economist, which reports on the entire world, not simply the West. A non-pc magazine for the non-apologetic WASP A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: GoodifyoureaWASP from college station, TX Weakness: frequent tongue-in-cheek article titles that seem to reflect annoying attempts at weak British humor - one which often does not translate well on this side of the Atlantic, especially since such article titles often seem to reflect an underlying racism on the part of the editors/contributors of the Economist. Strength: If it weren't for the comprehensive coverage of major global issues and events, I would have cancelled this magazine years ago. Best Global Perspective Weekly News Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: Stan from Dallas, TX I have read The Economist for over ten years and consider its global perspective invaluable in my assessment of world news. The Economist comes at its reporting from two important different perspectives than most other news magazines. First, it is based in London and its writers and editors are better able to evaluate the impact of US policies and practices within a world view than are domestic news magazines like, Time and Newsweek. Secondly, the approach of the magazine is more from an economic, business perspective than are other news magazines. Its writing is terser and, to me, more action oriented than that of its competitors. Most experts would probably call The Economist a conservative publication politically, but I have found it extremely moderate and balanced. Its staff supported at the time and still support the US decision to invade Iraq. They have faulted the Bush administration's execution of that war and were among the first to call for the firing of Donald Rumsfeld. Their dissatisfaction with the Bush administration led to their admittedly reluctant endorsement of John Kerry in 2004. They have praised the prosperity brought to Great Britain by the Tony Blair/Gordon Brown Labor Party while still comfortably recognizing the failings of that administration. They have no sympathy for Socialist regimes like that of Chavez in Venezula, but can find the value in left-leaning regimes such as that in Brazil. In summary (at last), The Economist is an important piece of reading for anyone wanting to enjoy a moderate but thorough perspective on global events. Best world news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: MK from Waukesha, WI The Economist is the best weekly magazine source for global political and economic news. Written from a British and pro-free market perspective, The Economist provides a refreshing alternative to the US perspectives of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report. The Economist is a must-read for anyone interested in global political and economic affairs. Best News Magazine in the world EVER A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: Craig from Champaign, IL Well, like the title says, its awesome. The articles are in depth, thoughtful commentary, interesting topics. I also like the way that the articles seem to be fairly well balanced, and when it comes to 'choosing a side' it is clear and articulate as to the authors opinion. Only complaint is that its every week - and that gets too much to read. With your subscription, also check out the website. I love this magazine for its insight A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: jr Best international news A review of The Economist Magazine, December 11, 2007 Submitted by: mss from Eugene, OR A uniquely non-American view of the world. The ONE news and finances resource - magazine, newspaper or otherwise A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Nikki from San Diego, CA "The Economist" is my favorite source of news. Although they consider themselves a newspaper, rather than a magazine, the format is better that either. Specifically, magazines are too biased in their editorializing and newspapers give little tidbits everyday with stories a hodge-podge of the last weeks current events strung into a single article. "The Economist," on the other hand, gives very in-depth analysis of economics and world politics, while providing enough background information for those of us who don't have the time to individually track each world situation every day. "The Economist" provides very cogent analysis of statistics, and does not intend to misportray this data to suit their interests. Most impressive, however, is how reading "The Economist" can bolster one's vocabulary. 5 stars. Excellent articles and scope A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: pah from Rochester, MI The Ecomomist gives us thoughtful, knowledgeable commentary on the important issues of the day. We appreciate the perspectives of European journalists and analysts. We like the books and art sections, the end papers profiling a notable individual, the editorials and most aspects of the magazine. Thank you for making it available Best unbiased world news A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: No_Ezines This magazine is perhaps the best weekly world news source in print form. Articles have an English slant, but are not nearly as biased as American news magazines. The magazine is aptly named as I read it largely for the economic articles which help me in my financial and investment decisions. If you want to know what's going on in the world, read The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: sbahn from Providence, RI Smart. Funny. Ridiculous ads for jobs at obscure UN affiliates. And terrific periodic in-depth reviews of particular countries, technology, medicine, etc. There's no better news magazine published in the English language. 5 - The best for balanced world news! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Dick from Pawlet, VT My wife and I subscribe to The Economist because it provides a perspective from outside the U.S. that is very helpful. It is extremely well written - at a consistent high level. The magazine is truly dedicated to informing and not given to promoting a one sided view to advance a particular political agenda or to pop culture and sensationalism to sell more magazines. I also like the website that goes with it. The Economist is the best source for balanced world news. Any person who wishes to be well informed should read it from cover to cover. My wife teaches an Intercultureal Relations course at a community college. She routinely clips articles to use in her class. She finds it to be a tremendously valuable resource. The best news magazine in the world A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Badcyclist from National City, CA If you subscribe to just one magazine, this should be it. It has a clear editorial viewpoint, but even if you aren't a classic, free-trade liberal there is a lot to recommend The Economist. The scope of news is unparalleled, the story selection wonderfully varied, interesting and informative, and the writing is superb. The Economist consistently stands the test of time. It is the only news magazine where you can read back issues that are months, if not years, old, and they are still (almost) as interesting and thought-provoking as when they were brand new. Try doing that with old Time or Newsweek articles-- you won't get very far. Arguably the best magazine in the world. This is the best magazine for a global perspective. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Teri This magazine gives the average American a snapshot view of what is happening in many countries around the world. This perspective includes those countries that most people don't give much thought to on an everyday basis; like smaller and poorer countries in Asia and Africa. This magazine provides a wonderful glimpse into the diverse economies, politics and cultures of our globe. It is well written, insightful, and a great buy for all of the information it provides. Best current event Mag. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: dcdduck from Brentwood, CA This magazine does the best job of any magazine in covering the happenings all over the world. News without the skews A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Sbuxchris from Fresno, CA It is refreshing to read a news magazine whose purpose is to provide in depth coverage of current world affairs. All of the U.S. news weeklies have sunk into the depths of news stories for politics sake, or, even worse, stories about personalities, dragging them down with the tabloid fare. The Economist is a British publication, and you have to accept that when you start to read the articles. The criticism of anything American is done with a friendly shove, very much like a good friend, neighbor, or relative would feel comfortable doing, knowing that you would take the criticism in the spirit it is offered. Finally, The Economist helps remind you that the world does not only extend from California to New York. The vestiges of the British Empire are alive and well, contained within in depth stories of India, Pakistan and Australia, to name a few. If you are that rare soul who enjoys getting caught up in an article about the economic resurgance of Argentina, or want some help figuring out if Gordon Brown made a dire mistake in postponing elections, or even if you just want some great cocktail party talking points, The Economist is for you. (It definitely is for me.) Finest magazine on the market A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: The Moose from mesa, az Buy!! Worth every penny!! Economist is Cheeky A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: LB from NY, NY This magazine has all points of view on the key topics in global news. It's funny and has insightful reviews of films and books too. Best weekly news magazine in the U.S. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Oscar from New York, NY The Economist has the most comprehensive coverage of world affairs than any other weekly news magazine available in the U.S. Moreover, it is written for adults and makes Time, Newsweek, etc look extremely pale and shallow by comparison. most useful news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: reader This is the premium international and national news magazine the best for NEWS A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Nancy from Mammoth Lakes, CA I find the Economist good for tibits for teaching since it gives me not only news but the cultural attitudes too. Often I find articles on Central Asia that are not available anyplace else. Premier source on international news A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Liz from NYC from West Harlem, NY The Economist covers international news from each continent, and has a science, books, and art section as well- all in one magazine! If you've fumbled around with New York Times on the bus or subway, just to be unable to read the entire thing - you'll be grateful for the Economist which provides insightful, detailed, and even witty articles on a range of subjects. I swear, with all the information The Economist makes convenient and accessible, I could be a Jeopardy contestant! The best magazine for international/world news. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Clinker from Folly Beach, SC The Economist is great. We have lived in several countries and always are interested in international news and opinions from outside the USA. We find it so complete for our taste that we have llittle need for several of our other news sources. Best Newsweekly in the English Language A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Mike from San Framcisco, CA Since 1843 the Economist has provided a synthsis of new, politics and culture that has been unmatch in the Enlish speaking world. Leaders in business, culture and government have come to depend on this weekly magazine publish each Friday. Simply the most thoughtful news magazine in the world A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: C L from Efland, NC The Economist is arguably the best written, best reported, most comprehensive general news and business magazine in the world. It is generally objective - perhaps with a slight conservative bias - and very international. If you want to know what's going on in the United States, this U.K. publication is the best. There's very little that appeals to pop culture, and a lot that deals with real political, economic and scientific issues and their interaction. It's the magazine for grown ups. It's my check on the other journals I read. A patriotic American - two-times volunteer veteran of US wars and former life-long Republican Best news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: me If you want to know about the world and not just what's happening in the US, then The Economist is your best choice. The Economist is a world class magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: pasha from Bryn Mawr, PA The Economist is a "Must Read" for anyone professing to be a "world citizen". Come to think of it, if you live on Planet Earth, you shoudl be reading the Economist: it is the only magazine that covers world affairs, relatively objectively, and treats their readers with respect. Moreover, the magazine covers are truly unique and capture the spirit of their lead articles! The most comprehensive veiw of the World's financial outlook A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Farmor from Palm Coast, FL This magazine is manditory reading for any person interesting in not only what is going on in the world but the reasons why, It is writen by intelligent reporters that do not insult the readers ability to understand. A review of the Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: david from bedford, ma The Economist is an international magazine with dual emphasis on the United States and its neighbors, and on Britain and its neighbors. This duality is carried to the point that the editing is bilingual, some articles in British English, with American spot translation as appropriate, and some in American English, with British spot translation as appropriate. Equal time is given to political and to business news. Its editorial position is fairly consistent: it supports responsible business and government, it supports free trade and is opposed to governmental subsidies. It is a believer in market forces. Best magazine in the world! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Satori Seeker from Newport Beach, CA I've been a reader of The Economist for over 15 years. Over the years I have also subscribed to many other business, technology and culture publications. I can say without hesitation that The Economist is the best of them all by far. It is more than a good publication. Its eloquent and succint articles are excellent nourishment for the thinking reader. If you believe that business and science articles are dry and boring by nature, then you haven't experienced The Economist. Five Stars. If you have time to read only 1 newspaper/magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Style If you have time to read only 1 newspaper/magazine- The Economist is the one to read. It is extremely comprehensive, unbiased and informative. Covering evertything from new science break throughs, to art, to religion, to polictics and of course, on the economy. Highly reccomend. A 'Must Read" every week A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: FEH from Sierra Madre, CA The Economist is, by far, the most informative newsmagazine available. In an era when Time and Newsweek have reflected a pronounced drift toward "People Magazine", the Economist stands tall in its professional journalistic standards. It is a "must read" for me every week. Best news and information magazine around.

Also, this magazine will cover issues you didn't hear about elsewhere. More than highly recommended. Best newspaper, could be better A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Ck07 from Bethlehem, PA The Economist should be compared to the world's best daily papers, not to newsmagazines. It can and does substitute for the 10+ daily papers that one would have to read to follow events in more than one country. The Economist could be improved in two ways: First, many articles show poor awareness of the histories of the problems discussed; it makes one wonder about the average age of the staff. Second, the best daily papers publish important documents either in full or provide links to lthem. The Economist can't do the first but should regularly provide precis and links. Great Newsmagazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: igerovich from New Haven, CT Most people believe (based on the name of the magazine) that The Economist is a business / economics publication. The Economist is actually a great source of business news and analysis. However, most people seem to overlook the fact that The Economist is also a great newsmagazine. In has in-depth coverage of political and other news from all over the world. You would no longer need a separate subscription to Newsweek, Time, or a similar publication. You can learn all of it and A LOT MORE in The Economist. For those who are specifically interested in news and events in the United States, The Economist offers a large 'United States' section. It covers everything you need to know. You can use The Economist as your newsmagazine even if you have no interest in business and economics. Most incisive commentary on international political issues A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Bob from Arlington, va Provides a succint , but comprehensive analysis of key issues facing the world and suggests practical ways to approach their resolution. A must read for all individuals, not just economists, interested in obtaining a comprehensive picture of key social, political and economic developments in the world. Even after reading the wall street Journal, financial Times and the New York Times, I find the Economist has something to add which no other publication offers. This is the best news magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Fred If I was only allowed to read one publication, this would be it. A complete digest of the most important global news. Intelligent analysis, high-quality reporting, and a good balance between different regions of the world. A magazine for the true internationalist. Everyone should be reading the Economist. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: Natasha50 from Boston, MA I highly value the Economist for its breadth and depth of coverege. While many events fall off the radar of newspapers, the Economist follows up on all events and summarizes stories to bring the reader up to date on the entire world. The magazine has helped me through out college and graduate school, makes me more productive and informed for my job, and generally helps one be a well-rounded and informed individual. Readers should nontheless approach the Economist with a grain of salt, as it is a very opinionated and magazine with a strong libertarian streak. Best world news magazine in US A review of The Economist Magazine, December 10, 2007 Submitted by: FelixKlein The magazine has a good nose for selecting the most relevant events in the world in a particular week. For example, they were well ahead of many news organizations in predicting the scandal with the Danish Mohamed cartoons. They were also ahead of everyone in predicting the tensions in Belgium. Very intelligent and informative writing compared to the traditional US magazine which are looking more and more like tabloids. Excellent economic analysis of wolrd events A review of The Economist Magazine, December 9, 2007 Submitted by: stephan from Los NAgeles, CA The best news magazine in the world A review of The Economist Magazine, December 8, 2007 Submitted by: Serban If you need one source of news with a heavy dose of business and finance, this is the only weekly magazine you should buy. In addition, it covers science and technology topics for a lay audience very well. Teh Economist packages the most important news and analysis that busy students and executives need. Could not say more except that the price is very good for students and wish I could lock into that rate for 10 years after I graduate. A must read for those who think! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: AL This publication helps to keep you well rounded. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: catfeo from miami lakes, fl preferred over time magazine. a masterpiece! A thorough and engaging way to read the weekly news A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: kp87 The Economist covers more ground than any other news weekly and is also very well-written. The subjects range from news to science and the arts and there is a great deal of information packed into the articles with not a word wasted. The Economist's slant/angle is twofold. First, much of the writing discusses business/finance or describes and analyzes events from an economic perspective, which I find interesting and relevant as well as different from other publications. Second, the writers are staunch capitalists and also hold socially liberal views, although the former is much more noticeable than the latter. With this in mind, The Economist is an informative publication that is well worth your time. Scholar's Necessity A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: FlyingScot The Economist is sated with all the worldly-paramount information that eludes most forms of media. It is a compilation of intelligence with a sincere disdain for bias which yields nothing less than unadulterated knowledge and the encouragement of personal interpretation. excellent worldwide news report A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: david from palm desert, ca A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Trajwani from College Park, MD This is a great magazine. It includes articles from different countries and allows readers to get a broader sense on the world economy. I would recommend The Economist to anyone interested in politics, business, and of course the economy. The Economist - Dont go to class without it A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Kay from San jose, ca A must read for any student majoring in business. This weekly magazine is full of current economic/business news and analysis. Wow your professor, boss and peers with your in depth international knowledge. Best World news weekly A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: c Global and international Perspective on world and U.S. events. Major focus on U.S. and European news but covers the whole world. The editors perspective is from an economist point of view and does not fit clearly into U.S. liberal or conservative camps. More written content and fewer pictures than most other news weeklies, the Economist seeks to educate the reader. Excellent Source for World News A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Tiff from Berkeley, CA Reading The Economist is an excellent way to get up to speed on what's going on in the world at large. Especially if don't have time to read newspapers, or you only have access to news sources with a heavy local, non-international focus. (CNN International, for example, is surprisingly US-centric, as evinced by all the hubbub they saw fit to broadcast about Anna Nicole-Smith's death while neglecting the rest of the world's affairs.) The Economist is also far better than either TIME or Newsweek magazine in presenting a relatively (but admittedly, not always) unbiased view of events, and far better at not including downright silly articles and material. Possibly the best weekly news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: pb The Economist summarizes news from around the world each week. Despite its title, it is not wholly, or even primarily, economic in content. It covers politics, economics, social affairs, business,and, in briefer sections, science, literature and the arts. The writing is lively, sensible (if sometimes slightly opinionated), often humorous (in a tongue in cheek way). Unlike Time and Newsweek, the Economist does not aim for a bland, homogenized version of the news. Its political position might be described as radical conservative, but always with a strong, non-ideological, pragmatic stance. I would define myself as a liberal (in the US use of the term), but find that I almost always agree with the Economist's position. This magazine is not very informative or interesting A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: billo Worth buying a few issues, would not buy again. It rehashes some of the same stories week after week and does not provide much detail or insight. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Vivek Economist is the best newsmagazine out there, period. Be it politics, economics, finance or science, economist's news analysis and commentaries provide insights that no other media outlet can match. Most impressivley, economist covers news and views from all over the world and not just america or europe. A must for all individual sinterested in the world around them. Great News Wrap up with occasional Humor A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Berlin from Los Angeles, CA I appreciate how the Economist summarizes the week . The articles are never long and drawn out, they are very conemporary and on occasion, an article is sprinkled with dry humor. This is the best mental fitness magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: porteclefs this is the best mental fitness magazine good balance against United States publications. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: june from akron, oh In order to get a clearer picture of US markets, I read the Economist along with the Wall Street Journal and Barrons. What one publication might be downplaying will be picked up in another publication with a different viewpoint. I believe you get a better sense of a situation by reading both US publication and international publications; namely the UK. Well researched articles A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: Curt F. Fey from Pittsford, NY It is the best researched source of business and finance artilces. The audio edition is a valuable addition. Dr. Curt F. Fey, CFP, CFA This is the best world news magazine. A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: earthbound_misfit from Williamstown, MA I don't agree with advertising/targeting this weekly towards "senior management and policy makers." I'm not those things -- it should say "edited for world news junkies." It's a great way for a busy person (who doesn't buy the NYTimes) to keep in touch with what's happening outside the American bubble. Just the obituary alone is almost worth the subscription price -- cost may seem high compared to Newsweek, Time, WN&R, etc ... HOWEVER ... My smart 6th grader reads those magazines at her grandparents, and I guess I did around that age -- and I think that is about the appropriate age range for those magazines. Well-informed adults should move on. (The E probably has the same amount of "fluff" as Time/Newsweek -- it just happens to be economics-related reports, job postings, proposals, etc.) Brilliant! A review of The Economist Magazine, December 7, 2007 Submitted by: dtreindl from Washington, DC There is really no better magazine/newspaper out there that covers business, economics, international relations as well, as intelligently, as objectively, or as thoroughly as The Economist. I would recommend it almost anyone willing to invest the time in reading it. Excellent International News Review A review of The Economist Magazine, August 31, 2007 Submitted by: Nonnie from Hastings, NY Simply the best way to get the most accurate news in the best written fashion. The best news and analysis available A review of The Economist Magazine, August 26, 2007 Submitted by: Donson from Pittsburgh, PA In depth news and analysis from every region, everyone should read this every week. Subscribing is like getting a new book to read every week. best news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 21, 2007 Submitted by: mom excellent in depth national and international coverage Best international news weekly A review of The Economist Magazine, August 20, 2007 Submitted by: UFfather from Maitland, GF My son , a college senior, is in his 4th year of receiving the Economist. As a political science major with focus on the EU, the Economist provides weekly news and indepth anaylsis of the 'world's" situation in an easy to read, but though package Great international news review A review of The Economist Magazine, August 20, 2007 Submitted by: Velo Boy This is a wonderful weekly for reading world news. The articles are always timely. They do have a British view in a number of sectors. this is a great source of information,very interesting A review of The Economist Magazine, August 20, 2007 Submitted by: lyn from millville, nj this magazine offers so much information.i always feel that i have come away learning something. Simply the BEST news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 20, 2007 Submitted by: Al's Dad 5 STARS Good Global News source A review of The Economist Magazine, August 14, 2007 Submitted by: Concerned Reader It has a good coverage of news items across the globe. Very few news sources has such a good coverage. However, it is too opinianated on some issues and foir readers who have little knowledge of a subject matter or issue will come away with the "Economist's" perspective. I feel this is not fair. It needs to be more balanced in its views. News magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 3, 2007 Submitted by: Wayne from Signal Mountain, TN Ordinarily renewing the Economist is a no-brainer. However, I have been disturbed about the increasingly ideological/political bent of reporting in the Economist. The report on the VPI massacre was more a political polemic than reporting. I will renew this year but next year?? Best political/cultural magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, August 1, 2007 Submitted by: Istvan The BBC of political magazines, liberal, neutral, with a lot of historical background, analysis, and cultural reviews. A great publication, though expensive it is worth every penny. A WORTHY PUBLICATION A review of The Economist Magazine, July 31, 2007 Submitted by: Tom from NEW YORK CITY, NY The Economist is the one magazine I trust to give a fair, rational and consistently adult view of the news. Where Time and other American publications have taken on the simplistic and infantile form and format of People, the Economist is always logical and readable this gives a great overall picture of the world.. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 28, 2007 Submitted by: guest1978 a great publication.. a must have to stay abreast of world happenings/trends best balanced in depth weekly news coverage in English A review of The Economist Magazine, July 21, 2007 Submitted by: international citizen a must read for anyone following business and/or political developments in the US and abroad. Best politics/economics analysis and news source A review of The Economist Magazine, July 16, 2007 Submitted by: Roumjana This is the best source of analysis of world events, worth reading well beyond the time of "expiration" of the actual news. Great background. Best all around world news/politics/economics magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, July 16, 2007 Submitted by: john jkl; A review of The Economist Magazine, July 16, 2007 Submitted by: Watson from Keene, TX 1. The news content of The Economist is global, unlike other popular news magazine. 2. All the articles are well written so reading is a pleasant experience, even when I have to read about a tragedy. 3. I like the special reports the magazine publishes from time to time. They are very informative. 4. The only complain I had with The Economist was not getting my copy on time and sometimes acturally missing a complete issue. Apparently The Economist has s taken steps to prevent this from happening again since it started printing the magazine in Dallas. I am encouraged by the change because my last three issues arrived on Friday as expected. The Best International News A review of The Economist Magazine, July 15, 2007 Submitted by: Ed from Chicago, IL The Economist presents the best of internatuional news. The US news coverage doesn't have the usual politically correct slant of domestic news sources. The magazine is thorough, analyticaL and presents facts more than pre-digested opinion. The education level is geared toward a university student or graduate. The bias is slight and seems to represent the secular international business community. The theoretical orientation is toward economics and not politics and is relatively non-idelogical. Best magazine for concise, timely international news information A review of The Economist Magazine, July 14, 2007 Submitted by: Jeff from Fort Worth, TX I enjoy reading the Economist because of unbiased look at world news and events. It covers every region of the country as well as book reviews, science information and business news. It also does not contain the pages and pages of ads that most American magazines such as Time and Newsweek contain. I can't live without it. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: Rizwan The Econmist is my only must read magazine - I don't start the week without reading the previous weeks. Best news magazine around. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: caljon The Economist blows away Time, Newsweek and the rest. It provides a better variety of topics and viewpoints as well as an international perspective. Yes, it's relatively expensive, but it is the best 'traditional media' way to stay informed. Finest news magazine in the world A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: ValenceBond from San Diego, CA The name Economist is unfortunate since this the finest true newsmagine available anywhere. Yes they cover world economics, but the wide ranging and extremely in depth news, politics and social issue coverage is outstanding. World news coverage without the fashion, hollywood and gossip babble. Legitimacy A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: Sputzi from Aledo, IL This is not an "Adult Comic Book". After years of reading the ACB's, the weeklies, I am now confortable in reading legitimate reporting. Need I say more? Congratulatons to all who make it so... A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: Jake from New York, NY The Economist lives up to its reputation as the best business and global news publication. The economic and financial data at the rear of the magazine are worth the price alone. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: Jake from New York, NY The Economist lives up to its reputation as the best business and global news publication. The economic and financial data at the rear of the magazine are worth the price alone. best newsweekly A review of The Economist Magazine, July 13, 2007 Submitted by: Dr B from San Francisco, ca The Economist is the best newsweekly--so much better than Time & Newsweek, which have been so badly dumbed-down. If you read the NY Times & the Economist, you are informed! A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Sam from Austin, TX The Economist considers itself to be a newspaper, which is to say true journalism. It provides a good global perspective and solid business perspective from the top level and is not just a read for economists. It is one of the most respected publications. I have read it for several years and in my opinion superb. That, however, is not to say it is perfect as it provides one more opinion, albeit a good one. I like the analysis of the events most of all. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Mark from Wichita, Ka A Fine News Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Joe from New Rochelle, NY "The Economist" gives a broader coverage of news events than any current American news magazine. It is a very good review of the events of the previous week and gives a solid analysis of whats happening around the world. It has also comments that reflect understated British wit. The best way to keep up-to-date on world affairs A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: David from Miami, FL There is no publication quite like The Economist if you want to keep up to date on everything that is going on around the world. This is not just an economic weekly, it is an in-depth unbiased anaysis of the "world-in-a-week" with insightful editorials and a reporting style that makes you want to read even the articles on subjects one would find some what tedious. It's a must read for anyone studying or in the fields of economics, finance, world affairs, business, science, international relations. Complete magazine with an unbiased view A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Econimist Fan from San Jose, CA Great magazine that covers global news from an unbiased yet critical viewpoint. You can get informed about world news, politics, business, science and arts by reading this one magazine Best Current Affairs Magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: dabbu Certainly not written for fast food consumption. Read it if you want really good analysis. Remember that it has more politics than economics so its not really a business magazine. Only negative is that somehow it recognizes it's superiority in journalism and this comes through in sometimes arrogant writing. The magazine that won't insult your intelligence. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Haroon from San diego, CA You can depend on the economist to report on every corner of the world with the in-depth knowledge of a local reporter but enough objectivity to avoid partisan bias. Global business assessment A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: harkenin from Seattle, WA Provides a weekly perspective, assessment of business and issues affecting business world-wide. Most important publications for international news and analysis A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: falconfinl from New York, NY This is the most important publication you are likely to read ever. For international news, analysis, and historical prespective there is none better. News analysis in always well balanced, discussing all sides of the issue under discussion, but consistently siding with free market and unfettered competition among the protagonists; perspective is historical and accurate, avoiding sensationalism. It always provides well balanced and dependable information. Great news magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: S This is a great source of news, and especially nice to get a non-US perspective. The Economist is an interesting mix of economic conservatism and social liberalism. Although I don't always agree with their view, I appreciate the way it is presented. A popular source of news for humanitarian/relief workers. An indispensible weekly read A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: usrads from New York, NY For coverage of national and international politics, economics and social issues, there is no better read than The Economist. Every college student should read it from cover to cover every week. best news mag A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Geek from san francisco, ca more of a global perspective than just American/U.S. A comprehensive overview of all things important A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Rachel from San Francisco, CA The Economist is one of my very favorite magazines. I read it religiously, and feel well-versed in the political, business, and general issues of the world today. Though I might not always share the same opinion as the author, I believe all pieces are well-written and give readers food for thought if nothing else. The editorials are fun to read, and I also enjoy the science and technology section. For anyone who cares to know what is happening across the globe, the Economist is a one-stop shop to keep you current and informed. Though I skim other publications, The Economist arms a person with enough information to intelligently discuss current events and hot topics amongst a group of well educated friends. If you are thinking of subscribing, I whole-heartedly recommend that you do! Though it may seem expensive, it is a huge bargain considering the frequency and depth of content; additionally subscribers enjoy full access to the online edition, which is great for reading on the go and represents very nicely on my new iPhone. Take the Economist with you wherever you go and be the smartest one in the room! A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: brontis from Leominster, MA I am of two opposite minds of The Economist. If I could, I would’ve rated it 2.5 stars. On the one hand, I rely on it for my sense of ‘being informed’ of political news outside of the U.S., secondly, it gives a (slightly) more objective perspective of U.S. politics than the comparable U.S. weeklies like Time, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report. I don’t have time to read several journals. I subscribe and read regularly ONLY The Economist. [Not to mention that the above-mentioned U.S. journals don’t even come close to the overall quantity and quality in The Economist.] Furthermore I get a higher quality reporting on cultural news, book reviews, and science and technology news than I would get elsewhere in any one journal. Reading The Economist weekly, as part of my weekly routine, I am well satisfied with my state of knowledge of the important news and political events. When/if I require more detail on something I get it online. In this category I rate it 5 stars. I am well satisfied with the product. On the other hand, I am offended by the editorial stance, stories, and choice of reporting on certain social issues. I do not agree with The Economist’s clear position that homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality, and absolutely no distinctions should be made either in social custom or the law. And I really resent how they sometimes simply rub my face in it (e.g. the gay “kissing” cover) and other times just liberally sprinkle it in seemingly innocuous places. Also, The Economist has no awareness of the roiling hostility to the fruits of feminism, as they have been visited on many segments of male society. The complete lack of awareness and failure to report on so-called ‘feminist’ issues with even a molecule of criticism and/or skepticism is insulting at best. I recall one small story on Fathers-4-Justice. This is completely unacceptable. The Economist needs to have its awareness raised A GREAT DEAL on the issue of what many are calling The War on Fatherhood. It is not at all surprising that The Economist’s editorial positions on gay issues and feminist issues are what they are. There is practically a one-to-one mapping of the population of feminists to that of homosexuals. Both share the same objective: the neutering of the patriarchy, be it in the persecution of divorced dads, the rubbishing of civil rights and criminal protections under so-called ‘domestic violence’ and sexual assault regimes, or the push for the acceptance of “alternative lifestyles.” For this huge flaw in The Economist, I give it zero stars. The average is 2.5, and I elect to round up. Also, I value the positive of what I get from The Economist so much so that I continue to subscribe and read it despite the fact that I am often offended by what I read. a great indepth magazine with a local global perspective A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: DR from chicago, il The Economist is a must read for people interested in world affairs, economics, and what is shaping our world today. The type of reporting The Economist does is unique and it is the most objective publication I have read. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: MaryAces from Brooklyn, NY This magazine will make you smart by entertaining you rather then boring you. Wish I had time to read every article ... because they are ALL excellent. The Best Source for Business & Political News. A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: MIT Sloan Student from Cambridge, MA The Economist is a great magazine - tons of information and thoughtful analysis. It does not seem to pander to its readers or any interest groups. I really enjoy reading it every week. The Economist A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Matt from Mechanicsville, Va The Economist gives good insight into both the current economic and political occurences. The summaries at the beggining of the magazine are good if you need a quick dose of whats happening, while the articles are in depth and informative. Excellent general news and commentary overview A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Dan The Economist strives to bring the news to the reader with enough insight to to be meaningful but no more than is necessary. Whatever bias is present is more so necessary for an intelligent interpretation than simple political bias of the newspaper itself. I enjoy reading it every week. One of the best sources of political news A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: g Awesome magazine, with up-to-date political news. High-end magazine A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: ldcw Every issue is top quality and worth the higher subscription price. If you are curious about the world, get this magazine! A review of The Economist Magazine, July 12, 2007 Submitted by: Vanessa from Aventura, Fl The Economis writes the best pieces to keep readers up to date with what's happening in the entire world and not only that, but the best analysis and contextual information. They don't just tell you what's going on, they tell you why and where you can expect events to follow. They have great coverage of world affairs and a comprehensive apporach to reporting. Their business and finnance coverage is also thorough and their books and arts are always a must. Beware, reading The Economist every week requires at least a good 3 hours, so this is no light read! But its totally worth it. This is authenticate indicator of Global economy and social welfare A review of The Economist Magazine, July 9, 2007 Submitted by: Gaurav from Ahmedabad, GJ I am facinated too much when i read this megazine first time before three years on Kenya Nairobi airport.
