Naturally, this could be a clever PR campaign - and I would be more suspicious, apart from it appearing in this edition of the Economist :
The Christmas Economist is a special two-week version : the content of a regular issue makes up about 50%, the other 50% consists of special multi-page articles written by staff writers when the urge took hold (but were too long to put into a regular edition). This is somewhat akin to Google's 20% time : The writers are given an opportunity to publish pieces that they've written for the love of writing.
Of course, this could be my own rose-coloured glasses (I've been a religious Economist reader for 15 years).

- jamesbritt 16y ago"The writers are given an opportunity to publish pieces that they've written for the love of writing." Wow. For Christmas I bought the wife a subscription to The Economist. I wanted something to wrap, so I picked up the current issue at Barnes&Noble (surprisingly, neither Walgreen nor Safeway had it). It happened to be the year-end double-issue. I saw the suit article; now I'm curious about the other articles, since I bet their authors have made them interesting by virtue of their own enthusiasm.
