In any case, I think that this article is not the type of article which you should write. I think your efforts would see much wider effect if you focused on explaining how and why the recession came into being. I know the topic is broad and an accurate analysis would be require meticulous data collection, but I think over the long-run it would better serve the “cause”. Those who agree with you after reading this probably already did anyways (like myself).

The questions they will ask after reading this will be:

“Why is inflation bad?”

“I thought deregulation caused the recession?”

They may be things that are obvious to you or I, or any other who is versed in any free-market school of economics, but perhaps not in someone who is not. It should be understood that the average person, versed in high school economics and maybe a macroeconomics class in college, will not see our argument as plainly as we do.

And, I know this is just a column, but I am just offering a little bit of advice on what I think would make it more persuasive (and to persuade those who need to be persuaded). You might ask, “Why don’t you just do it yourself, then!?” Well, I am not as knowledgeable as you in economics! (Although, one day I might be!)
