Summary: An Intelligence Goldmine
Comment: Anyone who understands that democracies rise and fall on how well informed its citizens are knows why The Economist is widely regarded as the world's most informative, authoritative general news magazine -- hands down. Its coverage of global events is grounded in the recognition that economics is as much about politics and culture as it is about money supply, capital flows and math theory, perhaps more so in today's exclusively speculative economy. What really sets The Economist apart is its superior journalism: stories are concise, yet set within a damn near encyclopedic overview that allows the reader to understand the subject in past, present and future contexts. What's more remarkable is the prose is generally flawless -- and leavened with wit.

Summary: Great publication! Just don't get it from Amazon...
Comment: Don't get me wrong. I love the Economist. It's a very well written, objective publication. I would recomend it highly for those people who want to get great coverage on global news but are tired of the left-leaning/pesimistic news from the hometown newspaper.
My problem is that I have never received one single copy from this subscription with Amazon. In fact, this is the 2nd time (out of 2) that I have been snubbed on a magazine subscription. My advise would be to bypass Amazon and go straight to the publication. There seems to be a disconnect between Amazon and certain publications.

Summary: The Economist is to Time as Time is to People
Comment: I love it - The Economist's US coverage is more in-depth than any weekly I know. The international section is my favorite.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's great!
Comment: Pound for pound the Economist provides more interesting reading than any other magazine I can think of. I often disagree with their editorial stance, but the articles have very interesting analysis, especially when compared to the superficial coverage provided by many American magazines.

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