The Statist was a British magazine. It was established in 1878. From 1878 to 1894, its subtitle was "a weekly journal for economics and men of business"; from 1894 the subtitle was "an independent journal of finance and trade". From 1894 to 1900 the assistant editor was George Paish.[1]
The magazine was relaunched in 1961 by IPC Magazines, with Paul Bareau as editor. It was intended as a rival to The Economist, and had a similar design. By 1967, Bareau was editor-in-chief.
The magazine was closed in 1967 with sales of 20,000-30,000 copies, with fewer than 200 issues.
