Hi all,

Thanks so much for all of the participation and the comments! Happy to announce that we're bringing back the Economist GMAT Reading Comprehension Challenge as a daily feature at Atlantic GMAT. We'll also be updating here on GMATclub to keep everyone in the loop who might want to improve GMAT reading comprehension using Economist articles.

We're changing the format a bit. There won't be any questions. Instead we're doing paragraph summaries, the primary purpose, and the main idea. With these things you should be able to check whether you've really understood the article.

We hope that this gets people doing what we think is the absolute best thing for improving GMAT verbal: Reading!

Without further ado here's the 10th installment of the GMAT Reading Comprehension Challenge. And for those new to the challenges here are instructions for reading: Using Economist articles to improve GMAT Reading Comprehension.

Happy Studies,

A.
