They don't like anyone pissing in the fountain of capitalism that sustains us all.

They are very pragmatic on the environment and third world development in this regard. They are very keen that everyone should be able to buy and sell and increase the wealth and not be underwater whilst doing it.

exactly. it's great because they've already decided the answer to the question of what a human life is worth: future earnings, discounted over time!

Still though, their personals aren't a touch on the LRB's.

(I know the Economist doesn't have personals. It would be GRATE if it did.)

The New Scientist has run personals before, though.

i'm a fan of the Economist for all the reasons above...especially for the bite-sized World News Round-up. Great for reading on the plane, but yeah, keeping up weekly might be difficult.

i'm intrigued by New Scientist.

One of my favorites: The Alpinist

Politically, I agree with the Economist nearly 100%. Maybe that's why I don't like it. It's a little pollyannaish, sometimes, and there's not a lot of personality in the writing. It's a good choice for an airplane/train trip, mostly because it's very dense and impresses fellow passengers.

I even like the New Statesman sometimes, although that could just be because it makes a nice change from The Journal of Interpersonal Violence, or Ageing and Society.

I've asked for a subscription to Granta for about the past 5 Christmases; I'm still waiting.

Maybe it's because I'm in college but I associate the Economist with upper middle-class white poli-sci/I.R. majors who want to seem smarter than they actually are.

But I guess I subscribe to the New Yorker and Harper's, which reveals me as a UMC white English major who wants to seem smarter than he actually is.

wtf about the economist lacking personality? it has so much personality that its crazy -- it is a sort of flip, know-it-all personality, but still, its like the maxim to like the wsj's gq or something.
