A little bit off topic here but does someone know other great writers like him? I tried Bloomberg View, the Economist, WSJ... but I couldn't find a gem like him.
- lmm 10y agoWhat do you mean by "like him"? The only writer I find comparably insightful is Scott Alexander (slatestarcodex.com), and he has a quite different style and covers quite different subject matter.
- nazka 10y agoI guess it is a combination of a great writing style with interesting stories. He gives us a real view of how it works inside and sometimes he shares his own knowledge. Like in his "Banking is boring."[1] article. [1] https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-07/boring-banks-and-silly-cds https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-07/boring-ba...
- oli5679 10y agoTwo recommendations: Tim Harford - http://timharford.com/ http://timharford.com/ Tyler Cowen - http://marginalrevolution.com/ http://marginalrevolution.com/
- nazka 10y agoThank you!
- lmm 10y agoI'd recommend against marginal revolution. It's sensationalist and often wrong or confused, IME.
- jessriedel 10y agoI find Tyler Cowen to be insightful, even if he has strong political opinions (which he expresses). Can you point to a few sensationalist/wrong/confused posts so I can compare?
- lmm 10y agoDon't want to browse there where I currently am, sorry.
- hendzen 10y agoI will recommend Izabella Kaminska of the Financial Times.
