Review of THE ECONOMIST
This is the most accurate geo-political and socio-economic English-language news-weekly there is. Period. Articles are succinct, top-notch, and cover everything from the world today to business, economics to the environment. I do think the magazine tends to focus a bit too little on the environment and religion, but that is my perception. Despite the editorial style and very sophisticated diction, articles are still easy to understand. True, this magazine (or newspaper, as it calls itself) is staunchly pro-democracy (i.e. broadly speaking, anti-Russian policy, anti-Chinese policy in their respective conflicts, say, over Georgia or Taiwan, and pro-war on the Iraq issue), pro-free trade, and pro-European (i.e. for the expansion of the EU). But it takes many conservative and liberatarian positions, too, and oftentimes even liberal ones, which, overall, makes the magazine fairly objective - you'll usually get all or most of the points-of-view after reading just a few articles on the same subject, although the Economist usually does imply, or sometimes downright state, which position it takes or the world must take. Actually that's the best part: it is very refreshing to have a magazine that is not afraid to share its opinion and offer its advice to readers, hence its influence. This, for me, is the icing on the cake.
"I used to think. Now I just read The Economist"
This is how Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, described his impression of the magazine. Although a little overhyped, I could'nt put it more succintly. It makes you think and makes you laugh. Read it!

Diverse, Compact, And Fair.
This is not solely a magazine for financial news. Writers from various points of view give the reader a great depth of research in their reporting. Precise coverage on current events, science, law, medicine, economics, politics, and technological news that you will not find anywhere else. I would say the thrust of the magazine is "libertarian light." It is simply the best news source in the English speaking world. ... Read more

a common touch and a devoted fan base
Kiplinger's Personal Finance is a worthy challenge to Money Magazine for a monthly dose of economic and investing trends, helpful financial tips, and - in KPF's case - a kind of populist advocacy for the little guy investor.
Wealth of information
Received the first issue 3 weeks after placing the subscribtion order with amazon, so that was faster than promised.
Best personal financial magazine
I have read several financial magazine: Money, Forbes, Business Week, Fortune, Smart Money, and Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. I must say that of all these magazines, Kiplinger and Smart Money are the two most useful magazines in terms of personal finance. Of this two, Kiplinger is the better one. I find that most finance magazine provide very narrow opinions on investment and finance planning. The writers of Kiplinger, however, provide very diversified opinions on investment and finance planning. This may not sound like a good idea for novice, but it is certainly a welcome feature and the most feature, in my opinion, for a sophisticate reader. ... Read more

Terrible Service Can't Recommend
I ordered Kiplingers and US News on March 25 and was immediately charged for both subscriptions.Today is October 12th and I've never received US News.I've complained several times and been given a variety of excuses and promised a refund and free subsciption which of course I haven't received.When I requested a refund of course I was given the wrong amount.If you want to order magazines I agree with the last reviewer go to another site because while Amazon is great for books that haven't got the magazine business straight.Also, the customer service phone numbers are wrong and this is a total mess.

Extremely disapointed!
I ordered this magazine as a gift. I paid for it on Nov. 21 '05. It is now Feb. 19 '06, and my daughter has not yet recieved her Christmas present! I will never again place an order with Amazon! Barnes and Noble has proved to be very efficient and worthy of my business. I will at this point try to get my money back from this company, and my daughter can purchase the magazine and all the missed issues off the newsstand! ... Read more

Coffee, tea, Forbes, or Fortune?
If you need to keep abreast of financials and business on a monthly basis, Forbes and Fortune are the two conventional choices.
Excellent Business Reporting Combined With Insightful Analysis
"Fortune" is a classic on the newsstand, and is as vital and important today as ever. "Fortune" generally caters to people with a managerial bent, especially upper-level executives, but also offers excellent analysis on current events in the business world, the global and national economic climate, and forward-looking technology and trend information.
Fortune Magazine review
I have not recieved my magazine yet it has been about 5 weeks since my order.I am hoping to get it within the next week.I already know I like this magazine, and I did get this subscription for a good price.I just want to get the magazine.

Better than the WSJ
Unlike the WSJ which panders to a broad readership, the FT caters to the most sophisticated swath of the business community, and this gives it free rein to analyze issues at an advanced level. In particular, the FT's coverage of macroeconomic issues, such as the US current account deficit and China's role in the world economy, is rich in technical detail.
good for economics/business not for world reporting
This newspaper is good for economics and business reporting but is painfully biased in its world reporting. Cant recommend, go with WSJ

The WSJ of Europe
What the Wall Street Journal is the the US, the Financial Times is to Europe- a collection of unbiased news, financial information and analysis, and darned good social and cultural reporting, too. It's what the New York Times purports to be- a journal for the informed, educated reader. Excellent repoting, fascinating features and a different outlook than you'll find in domestic papers. If you've never read the FT, give it a try. ... Read more

must be known to be loved
Question: Is there a better American English-language daily anywhere?
Excellent Business Information
Excellent (detailed, timely, and unbiased) source of business information; editorial page, however, is strongly slanted towards the conservative side.

Outstanding editorial line
'The Wall Street Journal' it seems to me has the most sane and persuasive political writing of any major daily American paper. Its editorial writers are outstanding, and provide generally great insight into world news.

capitalism's numbers
On any list of pure English-language business reportage, BARRON'S would figure in the top ten. This newspaper-style weekly compiles more numbers than just about any other publication.
Has lost cache, but there's still no substitute
Veteran Barron's readers (I'm going on 12 years) will tell you that the magazine/paper has deteriorated into the equivalent of an eccentric, pessimistic, stubborn old man who fancies himself wiser than the rest of the world.It is easily the most skeptical mainstream business/investing publication out there, which makes for reading that is entertaining at times and frustrating at other times.That tone is pervasive throughout, from the Alan Abelson's opening editorial to the technology-oriented "Plugged In" column.But this publication has its strong points, which is the reason I continue to subscribe: Detailed investment news and review
For the advanced investor. Read more
