The Economist Magazine Review

This is my favorite magazine. It is a British publication that has been around forever (to be accurate, 1843). It is well written and the authors have a sense of humor. The work is thoughtful. The art work and cartoons are good, they handle every aspect of the publication well. The magazine has worldwide distribution. Some content like advertising will be specific to different markets. The magazine you buy in London also differs from the same edition purchased in New York City because it has additional British news. I have been enjoying this magazine for years. Subjects are business, finance, politics, science and techology, arts and general news.

The magazine is better known in the US than it once was, but it isn't for everyone. I thought my Dad would like it so I introduced it to him. He read through and said it was good, but it was just more information than he wanted to know. That's what I like so much about it, but it also pretty much sums up the only reason I can think of not to subscribe.

The only time that I let my subscription lapse is when I'm not getting the time to read it, but I do miss it during those times. There is an online version. They offer great country reports, they have special survey sections from time to time.  You can sign up for email updates in any of a number of categories and you will get emails in a similar format to those the Wall Street Journal sends. If you are trying to decide whether this is the magazine for you, a visit to their website may help. Some articles are available on the site and the and the "about us" page gives their phylosophy.
