As many people know, The Economist is an extremely popular newspaper “focusing on international politics and business news opinion.” What I will be focusing on in this post is the “Schumpeter” blog column of The Economist.
The “Schumpeter” column, introduced in September 2009, is written by Adrian Wooldridge and his colleagues. It is named after the famous Austrian-American economist, Joseph Schumpeter, and is the business and management column of The Economist. It “provide[s] commentary and analysis on the topics of business, finance and management.”
“Schumpeter” is extremely diverse within the fields of commerce. It covers business with regards to politics (such as the recent presidential election), law (in the case of Kweku Adoboli and his trading scandal), entertainment (Disney buying Star Wars), technology, stocks, and just about everything you can think of in the business world. It even has a series of posts entitled “An A-Z of business quotations,” featuring wise and insightful business-related quotes by virtually anyone, ranging from Homer Simpson to English Philosopher Francis Bacon.
I would definitely recommend “Schumpeter” to anyone looking for a good read about the business world. It is relatively easy to understand, not too dry, and posts are frequent/up-to-date.
