    But if you are a student, you get free access through the library!

  • Nuggets on 24/08/2015 - 15:18

    Or you can just do the regular subscription at $2/week and cancel before the auto-renew date.

      Good deal but only 12 weeks unfortunately =/

      • Nuggets on 24/08/2015 - 17:56

        And then start fresh!

        • lyl-Lychee on 24/08/2015 - 21:48

          haha I have absolutely no problem with that. But don't they require a new name and billing address each time? Plus would run out of new email accounts after a couple of cycles, unless they accept temporary email accounts.

          @Uncharted: if you have a gmail, you can add full stops in random places and it will still go to the same inbox.

          You can also do [email protected] or [email protected] and it will once again go to your same inbox.

          Nifty!

        • lyl-Lychee on 25/08/2015 - 10:12

          @astrodude: that's actually a really good idea, I might use that for other websites and their introductory offers. Only other thing I wonder is if they'd catch on after a couple of cycles of same billing details each time.

    digital copy available for free also via zinio thru your local public library (eg port phillip council)

    • lyl-Lychee on 24/08/2015 - 15:35

      Fantastic, thank you for the heads up. Not that I mind, but is it a week behind?

      • [Deactivated] on 24/08/2015 - 21:55

        I get the Editing Humanity 22-28th Aug edition.
        Is it like the gossip mags & put out an issue dated a week ahead or it's release date?

        Zino rocks - I get Lots of interesting mags like New Scientist & Money.
        There's also a web version of Choice mag for Melb Library.

        • lyl-Lychee on 24/08/2015 - 22:01

          Thanks. I just checked Melbourne Library's release, you're right it's current. Awesome, just awesome.

          Dunno about gossip mags but yep, the date range the Economist uses refers to the week ahead. So if we're in the week, it's the most current edition.

  • Daabido on 24/08/2015 - 15:45

    For those familiar with The Economist's past advertising; "I used to think. Now I just ozBargain."

    This is a pretty standard offer for students.

    Used to read The Economist pretty regularly through the Uni Library, however, I reckon that the quality has slipped markedly over recent years… a weekly serve of hubris

    • kiamsup on 24/08/2015 - 18:22

      Not true. The quality is second to none. I have been reading the Economist for the past 20 years and still is for its extensive analysis that challenge the mind irrespective of the areas being reported. i beg to defer, you have the right not to accept.

    • lyl-Lychee on 24/08/2015 - 21:54

      How so may I ask? I don't mean to troll your comment but I'd agree with kiamsup. Been reading for 7 years now and it's always the most solid thing I read. I do admit it was more of a difficult read for me personally when I first started, but I'd (hopefully) put that down to my comprehension on world issues and economics improving over time. 90% thanks to the weekly Economist :)

    • DeafMutePretender on 25/08/2015 - 00:26

      Like any publication, The Economist has its own biases. As its name might imply, it's always in favor of "free markets" and the making of money in general. This usually but not always manifests as support for policies that just so happens to be the same policies that faceless multinational corporations support.

      Also, the comments section of the online version is filled with shills/astroturfers and holier-than-thou know-it-alls.

    • idyllboy on 26/08/2015 - 17:19

      I think we are agreed that opinions vary. I say hubris because the confidence with which 'The Economist' pronounces its view on a wide range of matters doesn't seem warranted by the many poor 'calls' that they have made - their war crys for the Middle East and tireless shilling for the FIRE sectors of the economy are just two examples.
      This blog post is an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy, … or not.
