Megan McArdle (born January 29, 1973) is an opinion columnist and blogger based in Washington, D.C. She writes mostly about economics, finance and government policy from a libertarian perspective.

McArdle gained some online attention in May 2003 for coining what she termed “Jane’s Law” in a blog post discussing political behaviors. The law, written with regard to the two main U.S. political parties, Republicans and Democrats, reads: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”

In August 2007 McArdle left The Economist and moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a full-time blogger for The Atlantic, keeping “Asymmetrical Information” as her blog’s name.

She was a vegan for a year in 2008, which she ended due to the diet complicating management of her previously diagnosed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

In 2003 McArdle was hired by The Economist to write for their website, in the “Countries” and “News” sections, and in October 2006 she founded The Economist’ s then-new “Free Exchange” blog.
