I am equally - and happily - divided between the weekly receipt of the hard copy (more often on Mondays, "thanks" to our mail services, than on the Fridays before ...) and looking on Fridays on the app and get a feeling of the contents of each issue: albeit I must confess that the rustle of pages perused on paper exerts on me a slightly greater fascination than that of pages browsed online.
One way or the other, each section, from Leaders to Obituary, and each article is worth a reading, quicker or slower according to each ones interest (my special mention goes to Science and Technology - being a lawyer thats probably not that much): the magazines style - inclusive of the ads, which are in either format different and only moderately, understandably obnoxious - is definitely pleasant.
Mr. Bagehots imprinting (aptly upgraded to follow the changes occurred in our history) remains an important benchmark for our every days analysis and interpretation of what happens every day.
As the several reproductions of Rodins "le Penseur" remind us, the Economist helps each of us significantly in exercising what for many is - unfortunately - "the real labor of thinking" and have an updated and agile mind.
Thanks for keeping us all on the same page - your pages.
Best,
Agostino Migone
