FAQ
Why is The Economist cheaper in India?
The Economist doesn't publish how it sets prices. Companies that charge less in India usually do it for purchasing power: $29 is a much bigger share of a typical income there than in the US, so a lower local price wins customers who wouldn't pay the US price.
Are these The Economist prices before or after tax?
Before tax, so they compare with the US price, which is shown before sales tax. The Economist's prices in India, Brazil, Turkey, Poland and Indonesia include local VAT or GST, which is removed.
