Okay, folks, thank you very much indeed for joining me today.

It is, of course, I am Mike Porky Parry, the Porkmeister, seeker of truth and justice,

and, you know, I have other missions and values in life, but I'm delighted you're tuning in again today to another edition

of life on Planet Porky, because I try to lead where others follow, I try to educate, where

others are ignorant, and more than anything, of course, I have a flock, and my flock are

those people who follow me and support me, and I have to

enlighten the world and tell you what can happen in the perfect society, which nobody will

ever find, but life on planet Porky might get quite close to it. Okay, folks, now I want to tell

you about the economist, The Economist magazine. You might think it's only about economics, but it's not.

It's about finance.

It's about business.

But it covers a range of subjects from world politics and business to science, technology, arts, environment.

And you know, one of the favorite sections I like?

The book reviews, okay?

Because when somebody from The Economist reads a book and tells you all about it, believe me, you know book reviews, okay? Because when somebody from the economist reads a book and tells

you all about it, believe me, you know about it, okay? Now, it sifts through the noise, in my opinion.

It focuses on the essential information that tells the real story in a time when facts matter more

than ever in this turbulent world. We live in both at home and away, okay? It's true to say

the economist has been a trusted source of intelligence for over 170 years. Yes, that's

what I said, over 170 years. And it's for the kind of person, you, the reader, who never

stops asking those questions and wants to know why the world is the way it is.

Now, the economist is the smart guide to the forces impacting on your world.
