I much prefer the WSJ, because the WSJ couples its analysis with good hard financial and economic analysis, usually absent from the NYT, unless Paul Krugman wants to weigh about the illiquidity trap and why neo-Keynesian economics is the panacea for all that ails us. I never understood why Krugman ventured outside of his wheelhouse of New Geography Theory and Diversity of Brands into fiscal policy analysis.

His first love was the humanities. That's why he's into that political stuff. I don't read his columns but his books are enjoyable, as he shows more interest in history than 99% of economists.
