A pleasure to read or listen to

Having access to the digital version of The Economist is not only about (the important) keeping pace with a fast evolving world reality. It is also about enjoying a degree of analysis and depth, something which is in ever shorter supply in much of today’s media. What a pleasure to read - or listen to -succinct yet well-conceived articles, with arguments properly developed and a robust use of syntax, grammar and semantics!
