Terrorism and escalating conflict, corporate failures and disillusion within the world’s leading economies: seldom has The Economist, with its in-depth analysis of global business and politics, been such essential reading, so don’t miss out – invest in a subscription today.

• Full and free access to The Economist on iPhone, iPad and Android.

The Economist was first published in 1843 to campaign on one of the great political issues of the day and still strongly believes in free trade, internationalism and small government. Today’s uncertain political and economic climate, together with a growing appetite for understanding, has contributed to renewed demand for The Economist. For increasing numbers of loyal readers, The Economist offers the opportunity to fuel their own thinking; challenge their opinions on events; and satisfy their curiosity about the world.

The Economist covers pretty much everything under the sun (and, if you include the Science section, some things well beyond it). Written with clarity and wit, it is the essence of good journalism: informative, stimulating and free from political bias.

Famously, articles in The Economist are not signed due to a belief that what it written is more important than who writes it. As Geoffrey Crowther (editor 1938-1956) put it, anonymity keeps the editor “not the master but the servant of something far greater than himself”. This single-minded pursuit of reason is still a guiding principle today. In 2010, as record sales were announced in the UK, The Economist’s John Micklethwait won the coveted Editor’s Editor of the Year prize at the British Society of Magazine Editors annual awards.

Its a great magazine, and getting better, with a lot of insight and good writing on a wide range of useful and just interesting topics - such as Somalia shilling still functioning as a currency nearly 20 years after the end of the central bank and government. The subscription offers are bttter on the economist website.

I've learned a lot about global politics and business from reading this magazine and it continues to deliver the stories that matter. Renewing my subscription was a no brainer.

Worth EVERY penny you pay for it. This is THE magazine politicians, CEOs, monarchs and many decision makers read every week. You know because you will see their names on the letters section when they write in. The advert pages have job adverts for TOP government and company positions. No celebrity BS - EVER. No sports section. No sensationalist headlines in large font...this is a VERY serious publication with over 150 years history and dont waste time with "news" that isn't really news. All the world news the other newspapers ignore or never talk about you will find here. Elections in Paraguay, scientific research in Malaysia, cultural discussions in Gabon, trade agreements between Belarus and Moldova... In depth world analysis that isnt limited to the same 20 nations all the time... If you really want to be informed about the world, get the economist.
