林行止(Lam Hang-chi),1940年生於廣東澄海,原名林山木,另有筆名史威德,香港作家與經濟評論員。他於六十年代投身傳媒,曾任職《明報》,後升任《明報晚報》副總編輯,主管經濟版;其後遠赴英國,於劍橋工業學院修讀經濟學,1969年返港。1973年,他與妻子駱友梅及新聞人羅治平創辦《信報財經新聞》,成為香港首份中文專業財經報章,並由同日起每日撰寫社論《政經短評》,歷時二十四年,逐日分析股市、匯率、利率與國際政經形勢,把芝加哥學派、凱恩斯學說等理論用淺白的書面粵語向讀者講解。1977年他創辦《信報財經月刊》。《信報》其後逐步擴充版面,成為本地財經評論的重要平台。其評論題材廣泛,由香港股市到中美關係、由石油危機到亞洲金融風暴皆有深入剖析;他亦熱愛旅遊與文化考察,專欄中常見遊記與人文名勝的觀察。《信報》於1973年7月3日創刊,初期以財經新聞與評論為主,讀者多為商界及專業人士;與他長期合作的還包括以「投資者日記」知名的財經評論人曹仁超。除政經分析外,他亦寫旅遊、飲食與文化觀察,筆下常引中外歷史與經濟學說,形成結合學理與趣味的專欄風格;其論述屢及九七前途、聯繫匯率與內地改革開放等課題。憑獨立不群的立場與理性分析,他長年被稱為「香港第一健筆」,多年來其社論與專欄結集成書逾百種,累計筆耕逾二千萬字。2014年,他出售《信報》全部股權,仍繼續撰寫「林行止專欄」,至2021年7月宣布擱筆。2026年9月6日,他在家人陪同下辭世,享年八十六歲。

Lam Hang-chi was born in Chenghai, Guangdong, in 1940 under the name Lam Shan-muk, and also wrote under the pen name Sze Wai-tak. A Hong Kong writer and economic commentator, he entered journalism in the 1960s, working at Ming Pao and rising to deputy editor-in-chief of the Ming Pao Evening News in charge of its economics pages, before studying economics at the Cambridgeshire College of Technology in Britain; he returned to Hong Kong in 1969. In 1973 he founded the Hong Kong Economic Journal with his wife Lok Yau-mui and the journalist Law Chi-ping, the city's first professional Chinese-language financial newspaper, and from that day wrote its daily editorial, Short Comments on Politics and Economics, for twenty-four years, analysing stocks, exchange rates, interest rates and the international political economy and explaining Chicago School and Keynesian economics to readers in plain written Cantonese. He launched the HKEJ Monthly in 1977. His subjects ranged widely, from the local stock market to Sino-American relations and from the oil crisis to the Asian financial crisis, and he was also fond of travel and cultural study, often filling his column with travel writing and observations on historic sights. His independent, rational stance earned him the long-standing nickname 'Hong Kong's finest pen', and over the years his editorials and columns were collected into more than a hundred books, totalling over twenty million words. In 2014 he sold his entire stake in the paper but kept writing the Lam Hang-chi Column until he announced his retirement in July 2021. He died, surrounded by his family, on 6 September 2026, aged 86.
