Advantages: Informative subject material Disadvantages: Little too academic in places.
During my long school holidays I like to mix and match my reading material, some of the books I read will be fiction, usually psychological crime mysteries or humorous writing and I combine this with some non fiction which is usually linked to the subjects I teach, Economics or Business Studies. I have always had an interest in Game Theory which is one of the harder more challenging strands of Economics particularly as it is firmly grounded in mathematical analysis and theory and as such the methodology used is somewhat beyond my comprehension at times but I can appreciate its application and relevance within economic theory and practice.

EC provides me with updates on the Nestle issue generally, and I keep a close watch for new Nestle products, so that I can try and ensure I don’t buy them. The big issue with Nestle is that they irresponsibly market the use of breast milk substitutes in developing countries. Further information can be obtained by visiting the website of the Baby Milk Action Campaign.
To provide a more balanced opinion, the main criticism that I would have of the magazine is that it can be VERY left wing and by its very nature is rather “radical”. It really depends on what rocks your boat, what you believe in, what you think is acceptable or not in relation to corporate ethical behaviour.
