Monocle

Since my senior year of high school, and specifically taking NYS Regents level economics with Mr. Michael Noto, I have been a devoted reader of The Economist Magazine:

http://www.economist.com/

The Economist is the most current, thorough, even-handed, wide-ranging weekly report of all affairs, politics, economics, business, science, arts, etc

It does have it's drawbacks though.

For a much fresher, up-to-date magazine, I highly suggest Monocle:

My recent favorite travelling reading.

Monocle comes out once a month. The magazine is divided into five sections labeled ABCDE: Affairs, Business, Culture, Designs and Edits.

The parallels to The Economist are numerous. Both do not limit themselves in the scope, breadth and depth of the interests. Any reader will be surprised to find what each magazine is reports.

Both also feature rich online content, a privilege only subscribers can take advantage of..

Anyways...Check out Monocle next time you mean to read the Economist but anticipate the monotonous graphical displays and dry text too foreboding...
