 《经济学人》在20世纪20年代发行量仅有3700份，直到1970还未能突破10万大关。如今，杂志分别在7个国家印刷，其发行量已超过70万， 其中有 4/5的发行是在英国本土以外，单独在美国的发行量占总量的1/3。 一个多世纪以来《经济学人》始终恪守创始人James Wilson的办刊思想：“在文章中提出的任何争论和主张必须要经得起事实的考验”。《经济学人》读者定位为高收入、富有独立见解和批判精神的社会精英，与此相适应，文章始终保持了一种独特的格调:不拘一格、叙述朴实、用词准确和忠于事实。 经济学人于1843年在伦敦建刊，以独立和全球化的视角着称。说它是杂志，其实它是以报纸的身份注册的。经济学家每周四晚上在世界六个地方同步印刷，同时于当天晚些时候在网上更新最新一期的内容。经济学家是一本完全国际化期刊，其中80％的发行量来自英国之外。
自建刊以来，经济学家一直秉承其创建者James Wilson的办刊原则。在创刊计划书中James Wilson写到：“我们真诚的相信，自由贸易和自由交往在全世界传播文明和道德的作用是其他任何现有的媒介无法比拟的” 。但杂志的第三任主编Walter Bagehot（1861－77）才是使经济学家发扬光大的人。他使杂志的触角向政治问题延伸。现在，经济学家的文章不仅涉及时势，商业，金融和经济，还 涉及到科学，技术和艺术。无论主题是什么，经济学家的独立，坦率，简练和尊重事实的品质任使其与众不同。
客观公正是经济学家杂志的的生命所在。公司的构成禁止任何组织或个人获得杂志半数以上的持股权。经济学家的文章都为匿名写作，就象它的主编们认为的那样：写出了什么东东，比出自谁的手笔更重要。 好书推荐： 《经济学人》丛书——有效营销 Download From Link#1: Damipan （支持多线程） Link #2 Rapidshare The Economist (May 9th - May 15th 2009)

Europe's new pecking order
There has been a change in Europe's balance of economic power; but don't expect it to last for long:
If there is to be an argument about which model is best, then this newspaper stands firmly on the side of the liberal Anglo-Saxon model—not least because it leaves more power in the hands of individuals rather than the state. But the truth is that the governments on both sides of the intellectual divide could go a long way to making their models work better, without changing their underlying beliefs.
On the continental side, there is nothing especially socially cohesive about labour laws that favour insiders over outsiders, or rules that make the costs of starting a business excessive. Even Colbert might admit that Europe’s tax burdens are too onerous today, particularly since they are likely to have to rise in the future to meet the looming cost of the continent’s rapidly ageing populations.
For the liberals, even if the cycle swings back in their direction, the financial crisis and the recession have shown up defects in the way they too implemented their model. Getting regulation right matters as much as freeing up markets; an efficient public sector may count as much as an efficient private one; public investment in transport, schools and health care, done well, can pay dividends. The pecking order may change, but pragmatism and efficiency will always count.
