History
MoneyWeek, founded by Jolyon Connell, was launched in November 2000 and originally published in association with Dennis Publishing.[2] It was designed as a financial version of The Week magazine, which was founded by Jolyon Connell five years previously.[3]
MoneyWeek was sold by Dennis Publishing to Financial News Ltd. in August 2002.[4] In late 2003, it was bought by U.S. financial publisher, Agora Inc.[5] headed by Bill Bonner, who contributed a weekly column in the magazine.
A South African edition of MoneyWeek was launched in June 2007, initially on a subscription basis, with newsstand availability beginning in 2008.[6] In September 2008, MoneyWeek France, a French language edition of MoneyWeek, published in Paris, was launched.[7] It ceased publishing in October 2011.[8]
MoneyWeek supported Leave in the UK's 2016 EU Referendum.[citation needed]
In 2017, MoneyWeek was re-acquired by Dennis Publishing,[9] joining Dennis’ Current Affairs division.[10][11] In 2020, MoneyWeek became part of Future Plc when it purchased Dennis Publishing. [12]
