The Economist
经济学人

The Economist is an English-language weekly magazine owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd. and edited in offices in London. For historical reasons The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but each print edition appears on small glossy paper like a news magazine, and its YouTube channel is called Economist Magazine.
《经济学人》是经济学人报业有限公司旗下以英语发行的周刊，在伦敦的办公室编辑。出于历史原因《经济学人》认为自己属于报纸类，但它用铜版纸印刷出来的版本就像一本新闻杂志，并且它的YouTube频道也被称为“经济学人杂志”。

The Economist has long been respected as “one of the most competent and subtle Western periodicals on public affairs”. The magazine was a major source of financial and economic information for Karl Marx in the formulation of socialist theory. Its logo was designed in 1959 by Reynolds Stone.
《经济学人》杂志长期被认为是“最称职和最微妙的西方公共事务期刊之一”。该杂志也是卡尔·马克思社会主义理论形成过程中财政上和经济上的主要信息来源。它的商标是雷诺兹·斯通在1959年设计的。

The Economist claims that it “is not a chronicle of economics”. Rather, it aims “to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress”. It takes an editorial stance of classical liberalism and economic liberalism which is supportive of free trade, globalization, free immigration and cultural liberalism (such as supporting legal recognition for same-sex marriage). The publication has described itself as “a product of the Caledonian liberalism of Adam Smith and David Hume”. It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.
《经济学人》杂志宣称自己“不是经济学编年史”，相反，它的目的是 “加入一场严肃的竞赛：让奋力前行的智慧，战胜阻碍我们进步的、卑劣而心虚的愚昧”。它赞成经典自由主义和经济自由主义，即支持自由贸易、全球化、自由移民和文化自由(如支持同性婚姻的合法化)。该杂志自称是亚当·斯密和戴维·休谟的苏格兰自由主义的产物。它的目标读者是受过高等教育的人群，并称读者当中有许多是有影响力的执行官和政策制定者。
