Economic Principals.com
David Warsh covered economics for The Boston Globe and Forbes Magazine for 25 years and, earlier, reported from Saigon for Pacific Stars and Stripes and Newsweek Magazine. He is a graduate of Harvard College (1966/72) in Social Studies and a two-time winner of financial journalism's Loeb Award. He was the J.P. Morgan Prize Fellow in Spring 2004 at the American Academy in Berlin.
Economic Principals appeared for more than 18 years as a column in the Business section of The Boston Globe. It moved to the Web in March 2002. The online project remains much the same as in the newspaper version -- to keep track of what's going on in technical economics through the device of weekly profiles of various movers and shakers (hence the pun) and occasional commentary on political economy. A more complete account of its evolution appeared in December 2004 as A Report to Readers.
