This week’s list includes The Economist Audio Edition – February 14 – 20, 2026, from The Economist Newspaper. Press play and stay for every chapter.

Published since September 1843 to take part in “a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.” The Economist is a global weekly magazine written for those who share an uncommon interest in being well and broadly informed. Each issue moves through the close links between domestic and international issues, business, politics, finance, current affairs, science, technology and the arts.
