Our ten most popular articles on Economist.com this year
BEFORE looking ahead to the new year, a look behind at the year gone by. We present a clickable "tree map" of our top stories throughout 2012, in which the size of each box represents the relative popularity (measured in page views).
It reveals that American presidential election articles were among the most popular, but ones on French politics also proved a big draw. Pieces on economics, manufacturing and Asian territorial disputes similarly attracted great interest during the year, along with a prominent book review—a paean to the penis—which exposed itself in December as one of our biggest stories.
