I subscribe to Z Mag, which is a good magazine, but for articles on economics - from the view of a humanitarian and/or socialist - you would be better served subscribing to the Left Business Observer and/or the Monthly Review. For humanitarian and/or socialist that is more news, and less economics, stick with Z Mag, along with ISR. For more humanitarian and less socialist, check out In These Times, The Progressive, The Nation, and the Free Inquiry.

I agree 100%.

My Economist subscription ran out in December and I've since been receiving the Financial Times. Not only is the publication daily, but it offers much better analysis and online features than the Economist.

Not to mention that students receive a rather handsome discount.
