The Economist. “Pots of Promise: The Beauty Business.”

This article was about all the different cosmetic companies and what they are doing to increase profit and sales. This article shows you how much people will spend on beautifying their selves and how much people are obsessed with cosmetics. It also shows you how much people worry about how they look and how obsessed we have all become about what is on the outside rather then on the inside.
Authors Justin Everett and Robert Lamm tell the reader that the author of “Pots of Promise: The Beauty Business” is anonymous. This description then goes on to explain that the article was pulled from The Economist, which is a “newsweekly that focuses on world events-politics, business and finance, and science- that influence[s] decision makers such as executives, financiers, managers, and government officials” (699). It is this explanation of The Economist, which gives the anonymous author credibility. His or her article was published for an educated crowd that that holds executive jobs, which makes the author reliable.
