I think others have given good recommendations, but will add the Atlantic and New Yorker.

Also agree that a problem with The Economist is that it is always overtly pushing a particular view of the view world (rooted in a faith in the rationality of markets), which is coupled with fairly strong advice/prescriptions in much of the writing.

I kinda have the exact same experience with The Atlantic as OP does with The Economist. I used to read it regularly but now it feels there's 5% good articles and 95% some kind of highbrow clickbait.

On the front page now:

1. Seven books that will make you smarter

2. Whoops, I Deleted My Life

3. How Much Would You Pay to Save Your Cat’s Life?

4. The Strength of the ‘Soft Daddy’

5. The Black Investors Who Were Burned by Bitcoin

Etc.

These don't sound like articles that are worth my time. I did persevere with reading the magazine for quite a while out of habit but by now I'm pretty much convinced that most of these articles will be just as vapid as their titles.

There is a difference in the online content of the Atlantic v. the print magazine. The print magazine still has some high quality content.

This is a selection of about 60 story links on the front page. The story about cats is about people paying thousands for organ transplants for pets, which is somewhat intriguing and new to me.
