He’s a rare honest progressive that mixes flawlessly unbiased ‘Smithian’ analysis of the data with relentlessly consistent policy ideas without descending into the partisan quackery that’s so pervasive among the progressive writers. While I’d hoped that he’d end up on The Post or Washington Times in order to counter the NYT, where his work would more naturally affect the daily political discourse, it’s perhaps more natural a fit, and more intellectually gratifying to have him in the family, at Forbes.
