Economist Special Reports
Water. Anyone?
The Economist have special reports frequently in their weekly issues and often they go in depth into topics that we'll get in touch with at some point of our lives. Most importantly, for academic, students and teachers, these reports are opportunity to get a clear picture of topics you've always wanted to read up more on and be updated on that field.
Very often you'd also find them cross-disciplinary, covering economics, geography, science and definitely General Paper. Take the recent report on Water for example. It raise natural water issues studied deeply in geography but also propose policy (economics) and technological (science) solutions. It is also great that nowadays these reports are available for download free because they are sponsored by some big company. This are materials that anyone can access, even those who are not subscribers of The Economist magazine.
The Economist is not always about economics and you just got to get in touch with the content they offer to understand how good it is. I'm glad they've came up with an economic solution to offer their content to a wider audience.
