Reviews (1-5)
5 out of 5: Politics, politics, politics...
Reviewer: Murat (Istanbul, TURKEY)
I
have to read an article every week and summarize it in my
English course. I've been selecting some easy to read CNN
and BBC articles online but my teacher recommended this
superb magazine and asked to read some over there. First I
was quite worried about the level of my English, but then I
realized that I can only learn by challenging my abilities. I
am interested in politics so the content was exactly what I
was looking for. I learn lots of vocabulary from it and
really enjoy the topics it takes. With the Economist, now, I
have different understanding of politic events than my
peers. They are watching CNN, reading local newspapers. The
difference is solid. It takes quite time to read all of the
magazine but I can't drop it and I read even the most
un-relevant parts of it. Thanks to the
economist magazine,
I think I understand how the world works!
5 out of 5:Superb
Reviewer: S.M. McMahon "smcmahon99" (San Francisco)
My favourite magazine along with the New Yorker. Most of the
previous reviews say it all in terms of what you can expect.
However,
it is not anti-American or a rip-off of then BBC as one reviewer
noted. I believe he used a quote out of context which often falls
into the area of most American media. The "incompetent" reference
towards Bush accompanied a Kerry reference of "incomprehensible"..
the cover story was "The Incomprehensible versus the Incompetent" as
I recall. Obviously, this was playing upon the simplified, popular
viewpoints of each candidate. As to the economist being a rip-off of
BBC, you can visit both the BBC and Economist online and decide for
yourself. I don't think you will much overlap between the two.
5 out of 5: Well worth the money spent
Reviewer:

As
a college student, I spent 2 years debating whether or not I
could afford the subscription to this magazine. Thankfully,
my grandfather eventually said he would pay for it and I
have been receiving the
economist for a year now. My
grandfather has now passed away and my subscription has come
up for renewal, but I am simply going to have to pay for it
myself. In fact, I plan on receiving the
economist magazine for the
rest of my life. The economist is not just a magazine about
economics as many would believe. It keeps me well informed
on a variety of subjects from the economy and financial
markets to international relations (my college major) to
science and technology and even books and the arts. The
economist is written to a high standard with articles
representing various viewpoints. I highly recommend
an economist
subscription.

out of 5:
A
truly unbiased view of business, technology, and world.
Reviewer:
Christian
Buckley (Washington State, United States)
Whenever
I travel abroad, I always pick up a copy of the latest
edition of the economist - and read it cover to cover by the
time we land. No other magazine I've read has the sort of
unbiased, just-the-facts reporting that makes The
economist magazine
stand out. The articles are timely; they ALWAYS provide
facts from all sides of the argument - or present different
articles on the same topic with differing points of view -
so that the reader can make up their own mind. I don't know
why I didn't subscribe years ago, and after a recent trip to
Europe did just that.
An economist subscription
worth 5 stars!

out of 5: If
only I weren't so poor
Reviewer:
Reid
Olson (Winona, MN)
As
a PolySci major I make sure to spend a good amount of time
reading the weekly issue
of the economist that comes to our University's
library. I've tried subscribing to Time and Newsweek but
it's hard to trust news that comes from a magazine that puts
celebrity names in boldface. Ideally it should be people's
only source of news.
