Political Observer : The Reader must demand a the transcript! Even John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge used the The Economist as ‘the rehersal space’ for all those BestSellers!

Editor: Reader take note that The Economist once had a vibrant comments section, that was discarded ! I once received two phone calls from the same represetative of The Economist as to the ‘why’ of my cancelation of my long time subscription. I was blunt! That comments section always was worthy of my time and attention, such was the quality of the comments section and its regular commentors!
