  • Losing our minds over Trump

    Seems like commentary is increasingly Leftist. Most of your concerns are over DOGE cuts. No real discussion of all of the fraud and waste being found in government. No talk of massive deficit and doing something about it. Sounds like a highbrow elitist discussion of horrors of cutting bloated government. Becoming very difficult to listen to. Glad when subscription ends.

  • Bring Jon Fasman back

    Checks and Balances isn’t what it once was without Jon Fasman. Idriss’ smug attitude is unwelcome. I missed Jon Fasman as soon as he left, but especially since Elon took over the treasury payment systems three weeks ago, Idriss didn’t indicate that his pulse was elevated in the slightest. As we endure a power grab in America and are losing what’s best about our values as a nation, we need Jon Fasman back with us.

  • Par excellence

    I am a business professor and ex-industry consultant. The Economist never economises, neither on its rigour nor on its relevance. Thrillingly factual work!

    Just the right amount of capital intelligence injection to finance our intellectual deficits, so known and most unknown (for me). What a publication and what brilliant coverage.

    My only recommendation would be to move a little more from a slight left-to-center lEuropean liberalism to a bit more centrist tone and parlance. Ecce Economist!

  • TRAILER: Spam Inc

    Seriously, love the publication, love the podcast. But getting a notification every other day for their new special ‘Scam Inc’ is absolutely ridiculous.
