 Written on April 6, 2008 Summary: A sound source of information Other reviews seem to be quite well written as it is. There was a concern about the difficulty of changing one's address. I have had to do it about five times, and it takes about three weeks each time. Yes, it is an overly tedious process. I came across an estimate of three hours to read an issue. If you read the whole thing it takes about six hours, but most people would only want or be able to read half of the articles. The magazine is worth it even if you just read the obituary and a couple of in-depth articles per issue. Written on March 26, 2008 Summary: Secular Humanist? A review posted here criticized the Economist for showing a "Secular Humanist" bias. Here are a few qualities associated with Secular Humanism (cunningly stolen from wikipedia): "Need to test beliefs - A conviction that dogmas , ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted on faith. Reason, evidence, scientific method - A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith and mysticism, in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions. Fulfillment, growth, creativity - A primary concern with fulfillment, growth, and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general. Search for truth - A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it. This life - A concern for this life and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us. Ethics - A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility. Building a better world - A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children." I don't find that the editorial standard of the Economist always meets this irreproachable set of criteria. However, it's often close enough that I have no problem recommending the magazine to everyone. Written on March 23, 2008 Summary: Phenomenal News Source The Economist is published weekly in Britain and is a different type of news magazine than Time, Newsweek, or U.S. News. There is MUCH more "hard" news in this magazine than in American news magazines, which have trended toward including more and more "soft" news in recent decades. Each week, there are features about relevant events from all corners of the world. As you might expect from the title, there is an extensive business section each week as well. The magazine is right of center on economic issues, left of center on social issues, and seems fairly centrist on foreign policy. At the end of each issue, there are tables of figures for GDP, inflation rates, currencies, unemployment rates, interest rates, and stock markets for all of the world's major countries. Given the trend toward more and more "fluff" features in news today, I think that it's great that there is still a magazine like this almost a decade into the twenty-first century. Written on March 9, 2008 Summary: King of the weekly news magazines The Economist is truly the best of the weekly global news magazines. Too bad it's not American so I don't have to bother with the pesky differences in spelling! Don't let the magazine's name mislead you into thinking it is mostly about business, financial, or economic matters; The Economist covers important news in virtually every country, including articles on science, technology, books, art, and people, and it offers at least two in-depth reports every issue. The writing is clear, insightful, and aimed at an intelligent, informed audience, with a sprinkling of dry British humor (always in good taste). Yes, The Economist has a bias - a free-market bias - but they wear their heart lightly on their sleeve, so I can live with it. If you want to stay informed about the world, if you can read only one news magazine, then The Economist is the one. Written on January 26, 2008 Summary: opinion of The Economist Arguably the best economic and political journal in the world today, enabling citizens to make intelligent choices in everyday decision-making. Every article is a great read, and often full of marvelously understated British humour. |
