' site review
The Economist magazine is the media and information equivalent of brown bread. You know it is good for you, but suspect it may simply be dull A- until you finally get to sink your teeth in and realise that not only is it doing you good, it is also very enjoyable.
Over the years The Economist has provided not only economists but anyone with a keen interest in current affairs with a detailed analysis of events shaping the world. The magazine's rich history has now been uncovered by digitisation. In association with digital archive specialist Cengage, formerly Thomson Learning, the Economist Archive offers a wealth of insights into economic and political affairs from 1843 to 2003.
Like the British Library's newspaper archive, also developed by Cengage, this one offers a fine digital insight into British history. If newspapers are the first draft of history, The Economist is the second. As a weekly magazine it has the time to consider the news and analyse events.
