Rob,

You beat me to it! I got one of those solicitations too, and it was definitely attention-grabbing.

Of course, it may all be a spurious correlation – I think they’re trying to imprint the belief that these people are successful because they read the Economist.

Of course, I absolutely love the magazine, and have been a subscriber for years now. I’ve found reading weekly magazines is a much better way of reducing the amount of noise you get from the “must-know-it-now” internet/daily news. With time comes perspective.
