- supernova87a 6y agoAgreed, the Economist's habit of laying out a few kindergarten-level facts and then extrapolating to what the world should do is pretty irritating. Enough that after one subscription I swore off reading them generally.

The rest I've found to be thorough, especially the Briefing section and Technology Quarterly. It's definitely full of "shoulds" from a classical liberal perspective.
