I had a subscription to Newsweek when I was in High School. They had an interesting feature back then where they had liberal writers do columns one week, conservatives the next.
Friedman split economics discourse with Paul Samuelson. Friedman was a funny, engaging, direct and clear writer. Paul Samuelson struck me as a pussyfooting bore.
One of my long held beliefs is that clearer thinking leads to better writing. Foggy thinking leads to muddy prose. Admiration for Friedman and Mencken leads me to try and emulate them any time I write on these matters. Not that I am as good as they were, but it tends to keep really embarrassing stuff down to a lower level.
You might have fun instead of delusions of economic intellectualism!
