I’m very aware of political and economic lens of The Economist as I’ve been a subscriber for over two decades.
I haven’t noticed a change other than a bit of a shift leftwards since Zanny became editor-in-chief, but I don’t mind one bit, as they haven’t lost the writers that promote classical liberalism, just added a bit of an internal critique of some aspects of academic economics.
But I’m very open to the idea that I’m missing something… especially since I’m such a fanboy!
I stopped regularly reading it a while back, but the articles I end up on seem to indicate a shift to addressing a USA libertarian audience rather than a previous economics-led but with some shred of humanity.
That may just be selection bias of the articles I read.
