$225/year seems pretty steep for a magazine. Is it really that good?

I thought The Economist is pretty centrist, with a slight lean towards the left sometimes. Not a far left progressive.

idk I'm just describing people I know personally who subscribe to that mag and talk about it. I've read it and it's nothing special compared to your far cheaper current events newsource like NYT. For fucking $225/year, they know who their subscriber base is.

the economist isn't unbiased

it is a really good magazine however and you will never see anything as dumb as the stuff the NYT regularly prints in it
