Reviews (16-20)
5 out of 5: Subscribe it from American college service
Reviewer: "cooltime" (Princeton NJ)
Only $77 if you are in college, grad school, etc... best deal for the most influential magazine. I have been using this service to get an economist subscription since '98. never miss an issue. try it.
5 out of 5: The best news analysis magazine available
Reviewer: Keith Wheeles (Crofton, MD USA)
This is a fantastic world news magazine. A lot of coverage of UK and Europe that you wouldn't otherwise get. Certainly not a cheerleader for the US (or Blair, for that matter), but I don't need to be spoon-fed my own opinion. I read economist magazine cover to cover every week and find it fascinating.
5 out of 5: Best weekly news magazine
Reviewer: Steven Mason (San Leandro, CA USA)
No other weekly comes close to The Economist for breadth of topics and international coverage. Of course, others have pointed out the weakness of the competition. While I agree with all the positive comments about this magazine, I will point out a few potential negatives: Each weekly issue runs 80-100 pages, requiring a couple of hours a week to read; the articles are written for a target audience who possess a relatively high knowledge of international events, history, geography, politics, and business (I am a neophyte who didn't know about NGO's or the Mercosur trade pact, which the magazine deemed unnecessary to explain to me); the often-cited humor of the writing is typical, dry British humor, which rarely causes me to chuckle. Otherwise, if you have the time, it is the single best news magazine to read.
4 out of 5: The day The Economist changed.
Reviewer: M. Hamoui (Accra, Ghana)
I first started reading The Economist 2 years ago, right after the September 11 attacks. I was attracted to its dramatic cover picture of ground zero, supported by a visionary title: "The day the world changed". I never missed any issue since then, more and more attracted by the depth of its coverage, the clearness of its analysis, the diversity of topics discussed, and the strange yet appealing mixture of dryness with sense of humour. The newspaper (as it likes to call itself) simply has a sex appeal; unfortunately, in the recent Iraq war, something strange happened to The Economist. It suddenly lost objectivity (in that particular topic) and became very annoying. Don't get me wrong, it has always been provocative (in a good way,) but in Iraq, their coverage was becoming ridiculous. It suddenly became preacher in chief for the war, (although I conceded that it did put the most extreme opposition opinions in its letters section), and got transformed suddenly from internationalists to promoters of British interests, complete with sneering at France (they have never admired France anyway). All that has cost them the fifth star that they strongly used to deserve, I hope the economist magazine will revert to its missed self.
4 out of 5: Good and informative
Reviewer: chicoer2003 "chicoer2003" (Fresno, CA United States)
The Economist is a good read if you want to know what's happening in the world. While American magazines focus on America and sometimes on other countries, the Economist gives news from every continent. It's also good on economics. The economist magazine is balanced in its ideology as well. |
