This month, CJR presents “Required Skimming,” a daily miniguide to our staffers’ beats and obsessions, ranging from finance to food. If we overlooked any of your must-read destinations, please tell us in the comments.
• Martin Wolf: The Financial Times‘s incisive columnist is, along with Paul Krugman, the best writer on the root causes of the crisis and how it will play out.
• Financial Times: The paper’s news coverage of the unfolding crisis is essential, as well.
• Matthew O’Brien: On Twitter and on the Web, this Atlantic whippersnapper is a must-read on Europe and the wrongheaded ideas that have made this an intractable crisis.
• Mark Thoma: The University of Oregon professor aggregates some of the best writing on the Euro crisis.
