REVIEWING THE ECONOMIST

Jean Lamb

This blog will be a weekly (more or less) review of various articles in The Economist, a well-known magazine of politics, news, and reports. It has the best foreign news in a magazine that I know of, and has been around since 1843. Its origins are in Great Britain, which means excellent coverage of British issues, though its main focus is on the US. In the past, the editors used to mention about five different wars that the US should be in (and American taxpayers foot the bill for). Fortunately, that trend seems to have declined (you know Trump had to be good for something, right?).     

          I look forward to comments on this blog. However, I do feel free to delete those which don’t seem to pertain to anything in the blog.

          About myself: I spent four years in the US Air Force in Purchasing and Contracting (though it was known as Procurement back in those days). I have always had an interest in US national and foreign affairs, and enjoy educating myself about them, partially through this magazine. I am a liberal and a feminist, and have been so for quite a long time. I am a Christian, though of the ‘feed my sheep’ and ‘we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God’ variety.

          I hope to have some sort of review each week.

          Let the games begin!
