Journal Editorial Report: The week's best from Adam O'Neal, Mary O'Grady, Joe
Sternberg and Dan Henninger. Images: AFP/Getty Images Composite: Mark Kelly

ABOUT THIS ARTICLE

THE AMERICAS

“The Americas” column is commentary on political, economic, financial and social
developments in the Western Hemisphere outside the English-speaking U.S.


MARY ANASTASIA O’GRADY

Mary Anastasia O'Grady writes "The Americas," a weekly column on politics,
economics and business in Latin America and Canada that appears every Monday in
the Journal. Ms. O'Grady joined the paper in August 1995 and became a senior
editorial page writer in December 1999. She was appointed an editorial board
member in November 2005. She is also a member of the board of directors of the
Indianapolis­-based Liberty Fund.

In 2012 Ms. O’Grady won the Walter Judd Freedom Award from The Fund for American
Studies. In 2009 Ms. O'Grady received the Thomas Jefferson Award from The
Association of Private Enterprise Education. In 2005 Ms. O'Grady won the Bastiat
Prize for Journalism awarded by the International Policy Network for her
articles on the World Bank, the underground economy in Brazil and the bad
economic advice the U.S. often gives to Latin American countries. In 1997 Ms.
O'Grady won the Inter American Press Association's Daily Gleaner Award for
editorial commentary.

Ms. O'Grady received a bachelor's degree in English from Assumption College and
an M.B.A. in financial management from Pace University.
