I like Matthew Yglesias as a columnist who tries to understand & explain what’s actually going on with current events / the economy / politics, rather than just battling for a side. At your level of engagement, I’d recommend reading his articles rather than his blog. I think the Moneybox archive is the easiest way to find them (since Slate doesn’t seem to have a page which lists only his articles and not his blog posts).
