A quality publication, that I should read more often.

6/17/2008 3:43:23 PM

so what's the cheapest way to get a subscription to this publication?

10/27/2011 12:16:03 AM

meh. I have a subscription, but it tends to be schizophrenic.

10/27/2011 12:18:37 AM

^^ I want to say you can get this for 1.25 per issue. I had a years subscription like that. The only down side is the magazine is weekly. I'd barely finish a few articles before I had a new one...and then they just started building. After that, I haven't really read it in about a year.

10/27/2011 8:19:35 AM

^ yup. They come too quickly. I can never finish them.

10/27/2011 8:24:37 AM

That's what she said

I read it when I'm at B&N for coffee, which tends to be a couple of times a month. Downside is that I don't even finish one issue.

lol I have this same issue.

SIR-

The academic subscription is like $77 per year. Also, you can get a subscription by spending some airline miles. A friend of mine just got a subscription for like 3500 Delta Skymiles.

The more you know.

i get the kindle version for $10.99/mo. better for me than a hulu or netflix subscription. it is surprisingly navigable on the kindle vice a lot of other publications. i can read it in full color on iphone/ipad or just read on the kindle "for the articles"

and they dont pile up in my house. kindle keeps the last 5 issues and the rest are archived for access later if you really want them

delta frequent flyer miles

basically if you have one flight per year on delta, you can get the economist with that mileage.

10/27/2011 10:57:10 AM

i have 0 airline miles. i might be willing to do the $77 academic subscription since punchmonk is in school. i think i might try to call em up and be like "i got $40 right here with your name on it. interested?"

Ooh nice to know about the academic subscription. Wonder if working at the university counts too.

What else would I use for building a fire and cleaning my windows

10/28/2011 10:57:34 AM

just called. they wouldn't budge from the $110. guess $40 just ain't what it used to be

10/28/2011 11:01:46 AM

Probably should have clarified they were US dollars and not lafta dollars.

I found one in the downstairs bathroom yesterday and thought "I still need to read that".

Date: May 2010

10/28/2011 2:07:37 PM

This also happens to me with my Journal of Foreign Affairs subscription, which is why I canceled it. It only comes out every other month but the thing might as well be a textbook.

10/28/2011 2:09:44 PM

12/14/2011 10:46:26 AM

If you do e-rewards surveys...you can get a subscription for $130 in credit money

I'm up to $61 but about to redeem for 3 other magazines

I can never hold out until I get to the Economist level

12/14/2011 10:51:02 AM

^^ i'm holding out for digital so i can read it while enjoying the comfort of a home poop

12/14/2011 10:55:31 AM

how is it any different from reading the physical media while enjoying the comfort of a home poop?

12/14/2011 11:24:57 AM

can you check out magazines at the library?? legit question - i haven't been to one in a while

12/14/2011 11:36:16 AM

Ha, don't be the loser who checks out magazines at the library. Thats almost as bad as the people who rent movies from the adult video store.

12/14/2011 12:01:57 PM

I found one in the downstairs bathroom the other week and though "I still need to read that."

IT'S FROM JUNE 2010.

12/14/2011 12:03:14 PM

^^

whats wrong with that? I mean i can probably subscribe 5-10 mags but library could have 10 others that i might wanna check out as well

12/14/2011 12:06:46 PM

for the first time in five years, i dont think i'll be resubscribing this year

but i've never paid a cent for it

IM GOING TO HAVE LIKE THREE WEEKS WITH NO ISSUES, DUE TO NOT HAVING ENOUGH FREQUENT FLYER MILES UNTIL I GET HOME FROM CHRISTMAS TO RE-UP MY SUBSCRIPTION

THE HUMANITY

but it is a rare week i actually finish the issue before i get the next one

12/14/2011 12:19:06 PM

i love the economist audio edition (and just realized a few days ago that i have access to it even though my print subscription ran out before i moved)

still plan on renewing my subscription when i get back from christmas, i like to read about half and listen to half during my walking commute -- only way i can get through the issues each week

12/14/2011 12:55:08 PM

honestly, if you just go on itunes and download the editors highlights podcast and then follow them on twitter, you get access to pretty much everything they publish.

i still pay for the digital subscription because its convenient and doesn't overtake my house with back issues, but if i didnt want to pay, the podcast/twitter feed would be the way to go.

my only beef: their inflation rates in emerging countries are less up to speed than Mercer
