Will the Economist Become a Fiat Uno or a Maserati Levant?

August 11, 2015

i read “Exor to Get 40 Percent of the Economist after Pearson Stake Sale.” Pearson, an outfit which once owned a wax museum, is apparently going to sell a chunk of its share of the Economist (a magazine which calls itself a newspaper) to an outfit connected with the Agnelli family. For those who do not track the activities of the Agnellis, the family is a controlling shareholder in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

Fiat Uno compared to  Maserati Levant SUV. Is the Economist like to emerge with Fiat Uno styling touches. From my vantage point in Harrod’s Creek, the Economist folks think of themselves owning a Maserati.

I rented a Fiat Uno once. Quite an interesting vehicle was that. The Economist is upscale. At one time it used coated stock in its magazine, sorry, newspaper. I assume that the Economist will receive some design and quality enhancements. Will the Economist emerge as the Fiat Uno of business information? The family wants to make Juventus football club number one. Football and tony business information may be complementary businesses.
