July 14, 2014: Business Insider: Why We Should Get Rid Of Zoos
Benjamin Wallace-Wells, a staff writer at New York magazine, recently wrote an essay so sure to be controversial that he began it with a disclaimer. Mar 6, 2014: NPR: How 4 Inmates Launched A Statewide Hunger Strike From Solitary
The story of how the four prisoners coordinated the hunger strike, and the larger issue of how solitary confinement has become a more long-term and widely used punishment in the past three decades, are the subjects of an article in New York Magazine called "," by Benjamin Wallace-Wells. 
ON THE RECORD: Dec 30, 2013: An op-ed published today by Benjamin Wallace-Wells in New York Magazine a pretty apt description of Phil Robertson is rendered (with particular emphasis on how he viewed from the left and the right): "What Robertson has come to represent, to commentators across the political spectrum, is a kind of American Genuine. To liberals, he gives voice to the bigotries that they suspect lie close to the surface in contemporary conservative identity politics; to conservatives, he represents a cultural forthrightness, a willingness to speak out on behalf of his interpretation of Christian values, and the controversy over his remarks is an example of PC overreach. This understanding of his character — as an exemplar of an obsolete culture, separate from the American mainstream — dovetails perfectly with the one that both Robertson and A&E have taken pains to cultivate: ZZ Top beard; his epigrammatic, Zen-inflected manner of speech; his life's trajectory, as a debauched college football star who returned to his roots, found Jesus, and founded a multi-million-dollar company; his politics. Phil Robertson is not the show's protagonist, but he is its unchanging element, its local genuine."

Oct 5, 2011: National Review: Ben Wallace-Wells on the Romney Economy
Rather amazingly, New York magazine has published an accurate and thorough account of Mitt Romney’s career at Bain Capital. Back in September, I wrote a column on the same subject for The Daily. I offered a brief, stylized take on how private equity works, which necessarily missed some nuances

Apr 25, 2011: Brad DeLong: Benjamin Wallace-Wells's Paul Krugman Profile Is Up...
It is a good piece. Ezra Klein is first out of the gate with a reaction: Ben Wallace-Wells’s profile of Paul Krugman is an excellent piece of work, but rather than engage with the various big ideas and tough questions that the piece raises, I’m just going to quote from the hilarious sniping between Krugman and Larry Summers:
