In current events conversations, participants can usefully be divided into "those who read the Economist", and "other."

There isn't a better magazine, period. And I'm not a banker, or a Tory. I am just under 40 though.




Don't forget the people who claim to read it but really just use it as intellectual bling.



Technology Quarterly in The Economist is great. The magazine "New Scientist" is also quite good.


I think you meant to respond to my downvoted comment.

Note that the editors are, in fact, fiscal conservatives for the most part. I had meant to illuminate the coincidence of the downvoted comment's parent mentioning banking.

And sure, "those who read the Economist" can be divided yet again into "those who ONLY read the Economist for current events" and "other." It's the new flag lapel pin for the under 40 crowd. Excuse my while I cough politely.
