Did anyone catch the article and editorial in the August 9 Economist Magazine analyzing the impacts of the internet and apps on escorting, and arguing for full decriminalization?  It features extensive pricing data (in real terms, prices are down since 1999).  They pulled the data from an anonymous review site, which I believe is non other than this very site.  Well worth reading.  It's still on the newsstands if you don't already subscribe.

is that the one with Putin on the cover?

no, it's got a pic of a hooker on the cover.  not your grandfather's economist, huh?
