The Economist's primary focus is world news, politics and business, but it also runs regular sections on science and technology as well as books and the arts.

Articles often take a definitive editorial stance and almost never carry a byline. This means that no specific person or persons can be named as the author. Not even the name of the editor (since 1993, Bill Emmott) i ...
