Here's some solid feature-writing from Max Nisen, a recent Pomona College graduate with a degree in economics.  Drawing upon a recently published report for his primary source, he explains how free-markets lead to democratization, and back again.

Political economy originated in moral philosophy and is a foundation for any serious contemporary economic journalism.
