The Economist can be dry - but if I was ever going to learn, I must read everything. How many read anything about the World Bank or IMF? Dry? Yes - which is why it was so easy to incite a lot of poorly educated college kids into Seattle riots. The rioter totally confused me since what they were rioting for is also what those organizations had already concluded internally. But then again, I read this news a year before the riotes in The Economist. Those riots only reminded me how few facts are known by the so many who have so many opinions.
There was once a bookstore in the KoP mall called Gene's that was more often frequented by the upper class. The Economist was not in racks with other magazines, but in a pile next to a cash register. It is never found in bookstores frequented by the computer techs or BA graduates. More often it is found in bookstores frequented by MAs, MS, and the other higher eductated.
IOW it is everywhere in the world - but not well known to 'local TV news' fans.
One cover page article in Time was "Titanic". Why is a silly fiction movie so important as to be a cover story? Demonstrates the intelligent level that Time addresses. Would Time ever discuss the Super Collider vs. the junk science called the International Space Station? Of course not. The Super Collider addressed science problems. The ISS was hype. Time is into hype - cannot be concerned with what really makes society work. It is why readers of Time rarely know of Clayton Christenson or Paul Romer - and yet these men have pushed out the envelope - while Time was discussing a movie called 'Titantic'.
