 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.

 Better than terrible, but not quite great

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

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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....................

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Global and international Perspective on world and U.S. events. Major focus on U.S. and European news but covers the whole world.

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.
