Product Description
The Economist is the premier source for the analysis of world business and current affairs, providing authoritative insight and opinion on international news, world politics, business, finance, science and technology, as well as overviews of cultural trends and regular Special reports on industries and countries. Established in 1843 to campaign against the protectionist corn laws, The Economist remains, in the second half of its second century, true to the liberal principles of its founder. James Wilson, a hat maker from the small Scottish town of Hawick, believed in free trade, internationalism and minimum interference by government, especially in the affairs of the market. The Economist also takes a fiercely independent stance on social issues, from gay marriage to the legalisation of drugs, but its main service to its readers is as a global newspaper: To uncover new ideas from all around the world. The Kindle Edition of The Economist contains all of the articles and graphics found in the print edition, but will not include all photos. For your convenience, issues are auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle each Friday at the same time the print edition hits the newsstand. |

Price not realistic. by Nicholas Sivo  1 Stars
November 25, 2009
I already subscribe to The Economist and love the content, but I can't justify spending the same amount as I do for print copies and full web access just for the Kindle convenience.

November 23, 2009
I love the Economist in that it is so informative and relevant but this Kindle edition is way overpriced.

kindle version way to expensive by N. A. Walther (Pennsylvania) 1 Stars
November 21, 2009
I love Economist Magazine, I have read it for over 20 years...but this price is nuts.
For 120 dollars a year I can get the print and the free e version directly on economist! so much for saving trees or money with Amazon

News or olds? by Old John Himself (Raleigh, NC USA) 1 Stars
November 19, 2009
Could you please speed up delivery? Our print copy of the current issue arrived last Friday. It is now Thursday, and the Kindle version of that issue has yet to appear. The Economist has always called itself a newspaper, and our other Kindle newspapers arrive the morning of publication. By the time the Economist's "news" arrives via Kindle, it will be "olds." While we have no complaints about pricing, we are reconsidering our decision to switch this particular publication to Kindle.

The Economist in Mexico and overpriced suscription by Enrique Azcarraga (Mexico City)  2 Stars
November 18, 2009
One of the reasons I bought my kindle is to be able to read the magazines (and books) I like, when I travel, when ever I like, where ever I am and with out the need to carry them. I live in Mexico and receive the Economist every week but can not receive it via my kindle because I live in Mexico? That makes no sense.
Also the price for it, why the big difference with other publications? it also, makes no sense.
It is as if you do not want kindle users to buy it.
