The Economist

Amazing that this weekly publication produces so much insightful research week after week

One of my first reads each morning, so informative and reliable.

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.

If Ernest Hemingway were a news magazine, he would be the Economist. Filled with tough, terse articles, the Economist's weekly news publication provides articles which give, on average, more background, analysis, and perspective on how an issue fits in with the rest of the world, than any newspapers or news magazines. While the Economist does have a libertarian bent, its analysis of the news is balanced. And because it's only published weekly, the Economist is better able to prioritize the most important issues. If I could read only one news source, it would without question be the Economist.
