    Interesting. Why do you think the Economist sucks? It has a reputation,
like the Wall Street Journal's news section, for being a great publication
that reports honestly on how capitalism really works. Is this over-inflated?
I've personally never found it to be that great, and am curious why it
enjoys its high repute.
