The Economist Review

Wonderful source of international financial news, the likes of which you won't find elsewhere. As the Wall Street Journal has moved away from big picture type pieces over the past 5+ years, The Economist has become the "must read" financial periodical. Unfortunately, some of their views are overly dogmatic and taken as gospel - e.g., free trade is always best, immigration is the best thing ever and more of it is always better (super high unemployment be damned). Such rigid views do limit the quality of analysis on certain issues, particularly in times like these when conventional dogma is failing us.

Your magazine reeks of dry British wit, tradition and coy irony.  Steathily your minions ply between the world's great cities to observe and dissect the news behind the headlines.  Unlike the fat, decadent American-whore media, the syntax and cadence of your anonymous writers do justice to the Queen's English. In the tradition of Tony Blair, Sean Connery and Henry Higgins, the Economist demonstrates on a weekly basis the British proclivity for cerebral eloquence, independence and irreverent style, qualities lacking in your colonial offspring.
