Not really surprising. If you read the Economist for a while you will discover that it is a magazine that is exclusively dedicated to the protection of the interests of large banks and hedge funds. So it is not surprising that the journalists are friends with a bunch of bankers. And everyone knows bankers love coke.

Well, it's a Tory magazine for the under-40 crowd. I don't know if that makes it banking-only, but given that banking is the big traditional industry in the UK, sure, I'll bite.

(Incidentally, I don't seem to mind as much when they have a pot-directed story.)

I was not really referring to the intended audience but to the editorial direction. If you pay attention, their editorials (and even their articles) are almost exclusively in favor of the big international banks and various large investment interests.

I am not calling them corrupt maybe it is just their philosophy but, that is a fact.
