History

MoneyWeek, founded by Jolyon Connell, was launched in November 2000 and originally published in association with Dennis Publishing.[3] It was designed as a financial version of The Week magazine, which was founded by Jolyon Connell five years previously.[4]

MoneyWeek was sold by Dennis Publishing to Financial News Ltd. in August 2002.[5] In late 2003, it was bought by U.S. financial publisher, Agora Inc.[6] 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.[7] In September 2008, MoneyWeek France, a French language edition of MoneyWeek, published in Paris, was launched.[8] It ceased publishing in October 2011.[9]

MoneyWeek supported Leave in the UK's 2016 EU Referendum.[citation needed]

In 2017, MoneyWeek was re-acquired by Dennis Publishing.[10] The brand joined Dennis’ Current Affairs division, which included The Week.[11][12]
