The Economist
The Economist Group started in 1843 as a newspaper dedicated to promoting free trade, and has since evolved into a global media and information-services company with a range of intelligent brands. The newspaper has covered important topics such as technology, geopolitics, finance, and economics, and has expanded its coverage to include dedicated sections on the United States and China. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) provides country analysis and forecasting, and live events are held around the world to discuss critical topics. In recent years, the company has expanded its digital offerings, including online executive courses and Economist Impact, which combines the reach of a think-tank with the creativity of a media brand.

An economist is analyzing a public policy proposal. One online resource they consult is a global news publication with a long-standing editorial perspective favoring free markets. Another is a non-profit think tank that states its mission is to research issues affecting low- and middle-income families. How would the analysis from these two sources likely differ in their evaluation of a proposal to significantly increase the minimum wage?
