Martin Wolf from the Financial Times won the 2013 Best Commentary Award. Here, he discusses his award-winning work in the Up Close video series that features OPC Award winners.
The judges wrote that Wolf is not afraid to express a sharp point of view, thoroughly backed up with fact. His depth of knowledge on politics, economics and environmental issues is striking, and it gives his writing a calm authority. His tone is pragmatic in the best way—firm but not strident, convincing but never shrill. And he does more than criticize—he also offers well-thought-out solutions.
