Though I might not agree with all the articles, some are actually biased collection of facts to shape reader views, most articles are nicely written and well argued, especially the articles in the 'Business' and 'Finance and economics' sections. I like it most whenever there are 'special' coverage of a particular topic, e.g. the economy of a particular country, her strengths and weakness, her challenges and opportunities.

I always bargain for a 2-year subscription (at quite a steep discount to newsstand price) at the World Book Fair and get the agent to throw in 1-year subscription of any magazine for free (that's how I got The Edge). Anyone with an even cheaper but timely alternative (other then reading from the library free) please let me know. Thanks! The Edge, thanks but no thanks Read more...
