Now this is a big deal, at least to me. The Economist is probably the finest news publication in the world, IMHO. I am going to run, not walk, to subscribe. With The Economist and Foreign Affairs what more could you want? (Unfortunately the Kindle price and the paper price are almost exactly the same, but I’m going to subscribe anyway.)

From Amazon’s Kindle Blog:

Picture 1.pngYou’ve been asking for it, and we’re pleased to deliver The Economist. The Economist is one of the premier sources for the analysis of world business and current affairs, providing authoritative insight and opinion on international news, world politics, business, finance, science and technology, as well as overviews of cultural trends and regular special reports on industries and countries.

Established in 1843 to campaign against the protectionist corn laws, The Economist remains, in the second half of its second century, true to the liberal principles of its founder. James Wilson, a hat maker from the small Scottish town of Hawick, believed in free trade, internationalism and minimum interference by government, especially in the affairs of the market. The Economist also takes a fiercely independent stance on social issues, from gay marriage to the legalisation of drugs, but its main service to its readers is as a global newspaper: To uncover new ideas from all around the world.

As with all Kindle magazines, newspapers and blogs, new subscribers will enjoy a 14-day free trial.
