Michael Lewis gets amazing access for the pieces he writes about finance. Not too technical, but he really gets into the characters that are involved with different parts of the industry. He's also one of the lucky writers who can write about anything that piques his interest at a given time (Moneyball, Blind Side, and essays in the same vein), so those are worth checking out as well. Atul Gawande is a great medicine writer. He was at Slate for a while, but he's been writing for the New Yorker for the last few years.
