The Economist Christmas Special

Double festive reading, on-line and at some news-stands

The Economist - Christmas Special

The Economist always publishes a Christmas Special. Among the usual news and comments there are other less typical articles about a range of topics. ‘Social media in the 16th century – How Luther went viral’, ‘China Abroad – Sun Tzu and the Art of Soft Power’ and ‘Crowd dynamics – The wisdom of crowds’ particularly caught my eye.
