No you shouldn't! It's terrible! You will come to understand this when they write about something you actually know about. What the Economist is good at is a tone of wry authority.
- dfc 14y agoCan you give us some examples? I have never heard anyone say the economist is terrible. I have always found it to be a great source of info on world politics/markets but I'm not a IR/Finance pro so I guess I would not be the best judge. I just wish the electronic version was cheaper.
- supercanuck 14y agoI've actually have read articles about something I actually know about, and my immediate reaction usually is, "I'm not the intended audience." I usually find The Economist's article to be much more cursory, but frankly, I appreciate its brevity in areas I am not well versed. I've come to respect The Economist more in those situations.
