 In depth and original, yet dull August 19, 2008

"The Economist" is a scholarly news magazine with a focus on the economic side of things. It streams in each week with many overlong articles. You could dedicate an entire evening or two reading the magazine cover to cover, but you probably wouldn't want to. Many of the articles aren't of general interest, but may be up the alley of a macroeconomist. The publisher appears to long for a globalized free-market world. A good magazine for some, perhaps, but not for many, I would say.
I would recommend "The Week" and "U.S. News and World Report" instead of "The Economist."
 The best English-language news magazine in the world July 24, 2008
I have been reading The Economist for 15 years and absolutely love it. It has the best concise coverage of news around the world. Its business and economics coverage caters well to my interest in both. I recommend The Economist to any educated intelligent reader who wants to be informed of all major political and business developments around the world in a concise weekly format.

Anyone who understands that democracies rise and fall on how well informed its citizens are knows why The Economist is widely regarded as the world's most informative, authoritative general news magazine -- hands down. Its coverage of global events is grounded in the recognition that economics is as much about politics and culture as it is about money supply, capital flows and math theory, perhaps more so in today's exclusively speculative economy. What really sets The Economist apart is its superior journalism: stories are concise, yet set within a damn near encyclopedic overview that allows the reader to understand the subject in past, present and future contexts. What's more remarkable is the prose is generally flawless -- and leavened with wit.
Great publication! Just don't get it from Amazon... June 26, 2008

Don't get me wrong. I love the Economist. It's a very well written, objective publication. I would recomend it highly for those people who want to get great coverage on global news but are tired of the left-leaning/pesimistic news from the hometown newspaper.
My problem is that I have never received one single copy from this subscription with Amazon. In fact, this is the 2nd time (out of 2) that I have been snubbed on a magazine subscription. My advise would be to bypass Amazon and go straight to the publication. There seems to be a disconnect between Amazon and certain publications.

I love it - The Economist's US coverage is more in-depth than any weekly I know. The international section is my favorite.
