Now certainly $80 is affordable (if you have a job), but most of the magazines I used to subscribe to, I paid $5-$20 per year.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoeconomist is weekly. 4x20 = 80. it is exactly on par with most magazines. and considering the quality you're getting a bargain.
- fallentimes 18y agoSubscribing to the economist is on par if you buy all your other magazines from a news stand - yes. I agree it's well worth it. My original argument was that it's expensive compared to most magazines, which it is.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoI'm still not getting this. 51 issues a year for $80 equates to $1.57 an issue. this does not seem expensive at all.
- eru 18y agoHow many issues do the magazines for $20 a year have in a year? Too bad, you can't get a magazine that cheaply here in Germany. By the way: There is a website to the 'Why not?'-book (http://www.whynot.net/ http://www.whynot.net/). It tries to be a web-2.0 idea exchange. But browsing it did not gratify me as much as reading their book. Especially I like 'What would Croesus do?' (How would you solve your problem if resources were unconstrained?) and 'Find new problems for your solutions.'.
