Just to say, I think the economist has made a mistake putting Babbage behind a paywall. Many of us cannot afford another expense. My youngest 16 year old daughter enjoyed it very much. A budding scientist with a passion for biology and chemistry. I canโ€™t help feeling there are other youngsters also now missing out.

Can I just say The Economist is seriously missing a trick by putting Babbage behind a pay wall. I know of several youngsters who love Babbage and have no disposable income to spend on subscription for a hoste of programmes that really donโ€™t appeal to them. Please rethink this guys.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Very informative and relevant as Fiji has only last week launched a similar app. There is a lack of trust in the Government of the day hence similar sentiments by the general public. There is a lack of transparency and laws that protect the general public. Many Thanks!

Planets worth of gold? Is that earth's weight in gold or the amount of gold on earth?
