Left? The Economist has a blatant liberal slant.
- tonyedgecombe 10y agoI think it depends on your viewpoint.
- tao_oat 10y agoI think The Economist is pretty open about their liberal slant (Adam Smith liberal, not US politics liberal).
- friedman23 10y agoI would think that a publication called 'The Economist' would be Adam Smith free market liberals.
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoEssentially it is, with caveats. The Economist was originally a publication set up to protest the Corn Laws and their distortion of the marketplace. The stance has shifted over the years but the tone is often inline with the founding idea that people and businesses should be left up to their own devices unless there is an excellent reason to intervene.
