I'll bite. The Economist is a right-wing publication. The quality of the writing is usually pretty good so it's not a bad choice if you're in to that sort of thing, but it is propaganda.
I guess that depends on how you define right-wing.
But sure, the publication is in favour of capitalism. Is that really so controversial though? I thought it was pretty obvious that The Economist is neither Social Democrat, nor socialist or communist. On the other hand, a Social Democrat could probably agree with much that’s written there.
That seems like a quite opinionated podcast indeed. From the blurb it sounds like the old proverb “som fan läser bibeln” (don’t know if you have it in English but it means “like the Devil reads the Bible”).
The book discussed could be interesting though. I might pick up a copy!
It’s right wing on many economic issues (free trade, globalization, etc) but don’t expect them to fall in with typical USA Republican Party lines on social issues (gay marriage, abortion, guns, etc)
