For my money, Hugo Dixon is one of the best and clearest financial writers around. He cut his teeth on the Lex column in the 1990s then, in 2000, went on to found Breakingviews.com, which was snapped up by Reuters a few years ago.
He is currently "editor at large" for Reuters (whatever that means: perhaps he is entitled to take longer lunches than us mere mortals, or turn his mobile phone off, or become large by way of said long lunches?).
His blog can be visited by going to http://blogs.reuters.com/hugo-dixon/
