This is the weekend edition of TheMarioBlog and will be updated as needed. The next blog post is Monday, October 22.

The lead piece for The Economist this week is about the recession that may come.

It is sort of a scary read, especially if you go by our economic news in the US, which continues to be one of the strongest in the globe.

But, aside from the pessimistic (but well documented) content about the recession that may come, I liked how The Economist’s design team again resorted to visuals that are appropriate and that reflect the content of the story. In this case, illustrations move us from one segment to the next. Loved the cover graphic which communicates the essence of teh story at a glance.

A vibrant, timely TIME cover this week
