Top 100 Economics Blogs

from CurrencyTrading.net

"Staying abreast of the world’s economy is vital, whether or not you have hefty investments in the stock market. A close study of economics sheds light on political, social, and even environmental trends, all of which affect even the average person’s daily life... Make at least a couple of them daily or weekly reads to help you become an informed, intelligent, and conscientious citizen." --Laura Milligan

Due to the large number of economics related blogs out there, it is impossible to read them all or even be aware of them all. The basic goal of my blog is to find economics related items of interest that may be helpful to my students (in class or life) from a variety of sources.

Those students who do have some interest in economics beyond simply passing the class should try to read at least a few blogs on a weekly if not daily basis.
"According to Tyler Cowen...that right now blogs are the best place to learn economics."

Reading blogs probably won't increase test scores as much as it will give a person a breadth of knowledge, information, insights, and commentary in economics and the broader field of human action that can't be obtained from from a textbook, classroom or library.

As with any list there will be debate.

I find this list be much better.

Opinions will vary.

If you have found an economics related blog that you enjoy or think might be useful please share.
