Economy

There are few sources better than this podcast on hitting key economic issues across the globe.

Impressive Reporting

I have taken The Economist for years. The articles were well written and, surprisingly supported by data and facts. The readers on the app are very good reading material that for some find challenging. The Economist has a center right orientation which may be interpreted in the US, especially after the recent administration ‘s distortion of speaking and writing with a contemptuous attitude to experts and facts. Decades ago experience in the college market showed a steep drop in rigor over time both in textbooks, demands of professors and student interest in learning. I believe I see the results of that period of relaxation of standards in politicians and in many other college graduates in the business world. Stay the course Economst.
