2018年《经济学人》PDF—— 8月期刊

经济学人适合谁读?它是老少咸宜,千人千面的内容:一本英文学习宝典,一本政经杂志,一本厕所读物,一本吹牛谈资,一本世界新闻,一本研究报告,一本书单推荐。


经济学人有着怎样的价值观?它有着这样的Mission Statement: The Economist was"First published in September 1843 to take part in 'a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.'"(《经济学人》自1843年创刊起,就参与了一场前进的民智与阻挠它的无益胆怯的无知之间的斗争)


经济学人就是一本英语学习宝典:听——音频版,纯正的英音阅读;说——最新最热的政经话题(拒绝尬聊);读—— 雅思托福必备;写——拒绝死板长短句,想native speaker一样表达。

2018年8月刊好文推荐:IN the line of fire
EARTH is smouldering. FromSeattletoSiberiathissum-mer,   flames   have   consumedswathes of thenorthernhemi-sphere.   One   of   18   wildfiressweeping   through   California,among theworst inthestateshistory, is generating such heatthat it created its own weather. Fires that raged through a coast-al area near Athens lastweek killed 91 (see Science section).Elsewhere people are suffocating in the heat. Roughly 125 havedied in Japan as the result of a heatwave that pushed tempera-tures in Tokyo above 40°C for the first time.Such calamities, once considered freakish, are now com-monplace. Scientists have long cautioned that, as the planetwarms—it is roughly 1°C hottertoday than before the industrialages first furnaces were lit—weather patterns will go berserk.Anearly analysis has foundthat this sweltering Europeansummer would have been less than half as likely were it notfor human-induced global warming.Yet as the impact of climate change becomes more evident,so too does the scale of the challenge ahead. Three years aftercountriesvowed in Paris to keep warming “well below” 2°Crelative to pre-industrial levels, greenhouse-gas emissions areup again. So are investments in oil and gas. In 2017, for the firsttime in four years, demand for coal rose. Subsidiesfor renew-ables, such as wind and solar power, are dwindling in manyplaces andinvestment has stalled;climate-friendly nuclearpower is expensive and unpopular. It is tempting to think theseare temporary setbacks and that mankind, with its instinct forself-preservation, will muddle through to a victory over globalwarming. In fact, it is losing the war.
