Reviewers frequently mention difficulties with canceling subscriptions, lack of timely communication about renewals, and frustrating experiences with customer support. Additionally, some perceive a shift in the publication's editorial stance, leading to dissatisfaction among long-term subscribers. Overall, while the content quality is valued, the company's customer service approach appears to require substantial improvement to enhance the subscriber experience.

Pricey but an excellent read to stay informed and understand important economic trends. I like their analysis, seems to be "middle of the road", less biases then other "true blue" or "red" publications.
Amazing that this weekly publication produces so much insightful research week after week
They've botched my digital account multiple times. The Economist's customer service used to be first rate but I think something has gone terribly wrong.
Rather difficult for a simple reader and an old journalist to write a review for such a prominent special publication with such a huge international recognition, like Economist. I may just only say to them: Keep well doing and continue being impartial and objective. Stelios Tamasios
One of my first reads each morning, so informative and reliable.
I love the Economist. Geopolitics and international economics are some of my favorite subjects to read about, and it does not get better than this. In addition to the news of the world, there are many well argued articles about various other subjects that are equally as informative. I highly recommend the Economist.
The Economist (http://www.economist.com/) is the place to go for in-depth information and news on business, politics and current affairs around the world. The articles are usually thoughtful, well documented and are not afraid of being contentious. If you are serious about news, read the Economist. They also publish a great style guide for writers! Sadly, for full access you now need to subscribe, but the website is still pretty good.
In our bad economy it is good to know what is going on in the world. I don't have the time to read any magazines or even to read a website. The economist has a great little digital mobile download to your iphone if you get a digital subscription (I don't want a print subscription anyways). One of the best ways to stay informed.
The Economist is the best source of news analysis anywhere. I read the Wall Street Journal to learn what happened. I read the Economist to understand why its important. The website is not that well designed but I tend to read it more often than the print edition (because it's more convenient) but both are well worth the money.
If Ernest Hemingway were a news magazine, he would be the Economist. Filled with tough, terse articles, the Economist's weekly news publication provides articles which give, on average, more background, analysis, and perspective on how an issue fits in with the rest of the world, than any newspapers or news magazines. While the Economist does have a libertarian bent, its analysis of the news is balanced. And because it's only published weekly, the Economist is better able to prioritize the most important issues. If I could read only one news source, it would without question be the Economist.
