A comment on Why Time and Newsweek Will Never Be The Economist.

The Economist and The Financial Times are the only two publications I've subscribed to in the last decade.

I'm not completely convinced people are uninterested though. Before we met, my wife wouldn't have given the Economist a second glance. Now she's a more regular reader than I am. Often you just have to give people a chance.

Concur to both.

The Economist is a necessity for my commute. I find my wife stealing before I can get to it most weeks :)

The FT is harder to justify if you have a good set of financial rss feeds but the economist has no real substitute.

What is a good set of financial rss feeds?

Isn't a subscription to The Economist part of the standard kit for people who live "abroad" (for whatever definition of abroad)?:-) My wife is the same way.
