The Economist Review

 After I receive 'The Economist' for professor, I don't know what to do. So, before I read that, I want to search the information about this magazine. The Economist was weekly magazine that was published in London in 1843. Like a title, 'The Economist' wrote article about world economy and politics criticism. Even though this magazine consisted of English, I guess Korean people pretty subscribed this magazine. But, the article's level was a little high. So, the age group of Korean people that read the magazine was also a little high. ( I guess it is the 40~50 age band.) In Korea, the magazine about politics problem existed. But Korean magazine wasn't evaluated like 'The Economist' because the magazine's politic tendency was definite.
 Total 95 pages of The Economist have a lot of country's story. Among them, Korean article was also published. 2013.10.5th 'The Economist' said, 'Monkey Business' happened in Buddhism in South Korea. Last time, the venerable Ja-seung getting engulfed in immorality make no bones about telling a lie. He said he didn't candidacy but he ran for candidate. And he was elected. I don't know a detailed account , however, it is certainly shameful article. I know that Korean Buddhism have severe corruption. I want to eradicate corruption of Buddhism.
