Excellent magazine
June 19, 2016

Pricey but an excellent read to stay informed and understand important economic trends. I like their analysis, seems to be "middle of the road", less biases then other "true blue" or "red" publications.

Terrible online customer service
April 29, 2015

They've botched my digital account multiple times. The Economist's customer service used to be first rate but I think something has gone terribly wrong.

Rather difficult for a simple reader and an old journalist to write a review for such a prominent special publication with such a huge international recognition, like Economist. I may just only say to them: Keep well doing and continue being impartial and objective. Stelios Tamasios

I love the Economist
December 4, 2012

I love the Economist. Geopolitics and international economics are some of my favorite subjects to read about, and it does not get better than this. In addition to the news of the world, there are many well argued articles about various other subjects that are equally as informative. I highly recommend the Economist.

In our bad economy it is good to know what is going on in the world. I don't have the time to read any magazines or even to read a website. The economist has a great little digital mobile download to your iphone if you get a digital subscription (I don't want a print subscription anyways). One of the best ways to stay informed.

The Economist is the best source of news analysis anywhere. I read the Wall Street Journal to learn what happened. I read the Economist to understand why its important. The website is not that well designed but I tend to read it more often than the print edition (because it's more convenient) but both are well worth the money.
