The Economist July 21 2007
The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international
affairs publication owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited
in London.
It has been in continuous publication since James Wilson established it
in September 1843. As of 2006, its average circulation topped one
million copies a week, about half of which are sold in North
America.[1] Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as
opposed to solely British) news source.
