The Economist's Subscription Pricing: A Global Mess

Two years ago, a wildly inconsistent global pricing structure for The Economist's digital subscription was revealed, with prices varying over 300% depending on location. Poorer nations paid significantly more than wealthier ones. This continues in 2024, with Australia and New Zealand still heavily overcharged. An 'Economad Index' comparing subscription prices reveals even greater discrepancies than the Big Mac Index, highlighting The Economist's illogical and unfair pricing, leading one subscriber to cancel their subscription.
