Resposta da The Economist

Tinha prometido aqui que ia perguntar para a The Economist sobre a capa com o Lula, que não estava entre as mostradas no site (mais aqui). Aí vai a resposta deles:

Dear Mr Drunk,

Thank you for your email.

Please be advised Economist.com leads with the main US cover, which is the North American cover. Other regions will often have an alternative front cover.

Please advise us if you require a copy of either of the covers and we will happily provide it.

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Sarah Collison
