Say what you will about former New York governor and attorney general Eliot Spitzer, he has a great deal of economic knowledge, especially with regard to Wall Street (and yes, not especially with regard to paying hookers while busting up prostitution rings).
As a regular reader of Slate.com, I've looked forward to his columns for that publication since he debuted in December of last year. You can find an index of the columns here.
Even if the Slate isn't your type of site or even if you find it too left-leaning, Mr. Spitzer's columns seem--to me, anyway--apolitical. More important, he writes plainly and clearly, quickly zeroing in on the heart of an issue. I really couldn't recommend his columns more highly.
It has been difficult--and remains so--to know where to focus one's outrage and disbelief with regard to the economic crisis (or whatever you want to call it). Mr. Spitzer's columns do a great service by helping his readers find that focus. What we do with it, of course, is up to us.
