The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication
owned by "The Economist Newspaper Ltd" and edited in London. It has been in continuous
publication since James Wilson established it in September 1843. As of summer 2007,
its average circulation topped 1.2 million copies a week, about half of which are sold
in North America. Consequently it is often seen as a transatlantic (as opposed to solely
British) news source.

The aim of The Economist is "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which
presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."Subjects covered
include international news, economics, politics, business, finance, science, technology, and
the arts. The publication is targeted at the high-end "prestige" segment of the market and
counts among its audience influential business and government decision-makers.
