I'm the US investment correspondent for the Financial Times, where I also contribute to Due Diligence, the FT's daily newsletter on finance and deals. I previously worked for Bloomberg News, where I regularly wrote for Businessweek and CityLab. And before that, I had stints working for The American Prospect and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
