I appreciate that perspective. They certainly were critical of many of Trump's positions and policies, but that criticism was largely based in facts on his deleterious impact globally and childlike positions. I found it neither unhinged, nor message board-like, but packed with tight prose and well considered positions. I would expect you to have agreed with much of it if in fact fiscally conservative and socially libertarian, because Trump was neither.

Here's their philosophy:

"Our editorial philosophy

Founded in 1843 to support the cause of free trade, The Economist continues to produce journalism of sometimes radical opinion with a reverence for facts.

Independence
Editorial independence lies at the heart of The Economist. The constitution of the company does not permit any individual or organisation to gain a majority shareholding. The editor is appointed by trustees, who are independent of commercial, political and proprietorial influences.

Objectivity
The Economist has no by-lines. It is written anonymously because its collective voice and personality matter more than the identities of individual journalists. This ensures a continuity of tradition and consistency of view.

Topicality
The Economist constantly covers and curates the news. It publishes weekly in a magazine format and around the clock on its digital platforms.

Our values

Our values are a collective set of beliefs and behaviours that strengthen The Economist Group's purpose and demonstrate where we want to be as an organisation. They reflect on our mission to pursue progress for individuals, organisations and the world.

Independence

We are not bound to any party or interest and encourage exploration and free-thinking. We champion freedom, both within our organisation and around the world.

Integrity

We are bold in our efforts to uncover the truth and stand up for what we believe in. We inspire trust through our rigour, fact-checking and transparency.

Excellence

We aspire to the highest standards in all we do. We are ambitious and inquisitive in our pursuit of continuous progress and innovation.

Inclusivity

We value diversity in thought and background and encourage healthy debate with a breadth of perspectives. We treat our colleagues and customers fairly and respectfully.

Openness

We foster a collaborative and empathetic culture conducive to the interests, wit and initiative of our colleagues. New ideas are our lifeblood."
No worries brother, not mad, just trying to think of anything even remotely approaching "incendiary", maybe we differ there. When I think of incendiary, I think of Breitbart, Newsmax, Infowars and shouting heads during prime time opinion segments. Not having sometimes strong positions backed by context and reasoning.

I'd encourage people to check out their free daily "world in brief" podcast, or the intelligence, or other free weeklies and see how they feel about the content, before taking mine or your opinions.
I actually just got renewed today through their DiscountLock (fortuitous timing as I was able to cancel) and the 1-year price was $89.99. More expensive than this sale but *way* cheaper than the list price.

They also emailed me warnings like 3 times before the renewal.

This is just my opinion as someone who has voted third party the last three elections, is fiscally conservative, and socially libertarian - I got a deal on The Economist during 2020 thinking it would provide great perspective and economically sound reasoning to back up its articles leading up to the 2020 election (and since we are leading up to the 2024 election season I figured it would be appropriate to write this opinion here), but it ended up being unhinged message board style yelling in pretty much every article primarily against Trump (which I get from a personal level, but not when I am looking for well-reasoned arguments to try to persuade/dissuade me). In the end I found WSJ to be a better fit if intelligent and diverse perspectives on upcoming events is what you're looking for.

This is an absolute steal for the Print edition, it's been YEARS since there was a price that low. And yes you can stack that price for two years out the gate.

This is worth it for their daily briefs, weekly newsletters, and podcasts alone.

Digital only is accessible to most library network's e-resources, but I do prefer physical for this so I might pick it up again. Haven't had it since the $45/year days.

This is why I was hesitant to post my review. I never said Trump was fiscally conservative or that I supported his policies - in fact, I stated I didn't vote for him in 2016 or 2020. Despite my dislike of about 70% of his policies and 99% of his rhetoric, I still found The Economist to be similar to most large American media sources, with heavily biased and incendiary rhetoric close to matching politicians. I do not feel that they lived up to their "editorial standards" and was heavily disappointed. Reasonable minds can disagree, but I'm just adding my caution to perhaps help someone from spending $75 and being largely disappointed as I was. Hope you have a nice day!

How do you stack for 2 years? Will they 'stack' if I order 2 individual one year subscriptions? A little worried about getting 2 mags in the mailbox every week.

Thx OP

I bought 1 year print plus digital for $78. As I was headed to the checkout, I was offered a second year for $72. Two years of print plus digital for $150 - $50 less that what The Economist wanted to charge me for one year of digital renewal alone.

If you already have a subscription, the new one will "stack" as you're describing - two issues a week until your old subscription expires.

I don't know what will happen if you buy two individual subscriptions, but first wait and see if you get the second-year extension offer.

Thanks and repped to the original poster.

I find WSJ to be more about politics and less about economics these days. I stopped getting WSJ because it was basically a conservative newspaper and I was looking for objective takes. I swear half their articles didn't have the slightest to do with markets, finance or econ. Several of my peers agree.

You can get it again: not sure if it is any more objective, but the Brit editors and the new and improved staff have really "reimagined" the content ;-)

While we all should be paying for quality journalism like this when we can afford to, it's important to know that your library may well have The Economist available to check out digitally (every week!) for free. Visit your library's web site for more details.

I do find that funny because everyone I know who is "on the left" considers WSJ to be a conservative paper while everyone I know who is "on the right" considers WSJ to be a liberal paper. That's why I prefer it.

So I had an ongoing subscription while this was going on and did not renew it then. What is the recommended way of locking in this rate for people who are midway through an existing subscription?
