Sir Samuel Brittan, who died at the age of 86 on Monday, was the doyen of British economic journalists for over half a century. Yet he achieved this position because he was so much more than that. He was a passionate believer in freedom from any sort of tyranny, political or personal, a true intellectual and a man of conscience. These qualities radiated from everything he wrote. Not only the Financial Times but the wider world owes him an enormous debt for his contribution.
