Edited in London since 1843, The Economist is a weekly international news and business publication, offering clear reporting, commentary and analysis on world current affairs, business, finance, science and technology, culture, society, media and the arts. As noted on its contents page, The Economist's goal is to "take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress." Printed in five countries, worldwide circulation is now over one million, and The Economist is read by more of the world's political and business leaders than any other magazine.
Sounds interesting. The fantasy only enters the picture when I look at the pricing.
For only $67.25 (my Professional Discount Rate), I can now get this great offer valued at $431.25.

That is one big discount. I know the magazine has been doing well for a dead tree weekly, so I have no idea what is causing the giant discount. I am clearly not in the correct demographic to understand.
