Its perspective and focus is business, and is European. That can make it a good complement to leading US news sources such as the NYT. FT is, IMHO, the most intellectually sophisticated daily newspaper in the world, ahead of the NYT. FT columnists are just about the only ones I see anywhere that have intellectual honesty and also sophistication that makes them worth reading. (In other publications, IMHO opinion columns of every political stripe are an exercise in spinning news to favor their 'constituency', and are transparently misleading to someone who is otherwise well-informed.)
