What I Read

This is an incomplete list of blogs and other websites I read. Over time, I will add to it. Rather than your typical blog entry, which has a half-life of a few days, I prefer to read essays — articles that 10 years from now I would still want to read, as opposed to an entry that one week later no one cares about. Many of my categories are somewhat arbitrary and many of the blogs listed could legitimately be classified in other categories.
I used to use an RSS reader, which aggregated all of the feeds from every site I subscribed to. I found this experience to be unpleasant. There were too many articles to read, and I felt overwhelmed. If you’re looking for a RSS reader, I recommend FeedBurner, published by NewsGator. This page provides a list of all of their RSS readers.
I prefer to read blogs in their original form, rather than through a RSS reader. Each site has a distinctive look and for me, the look is part of the experience. I use this page to click through to the sites I want to read. The disadvantage of this approach is that I have to manually check each site. Since I am usually not looking for up-to-the-minute news, I check most blogs and websites once a week or so, and thus having to manually check is not much of a burden to me.
If you’re the one person on the planet who is wondering, “Where is his twitter list?” I am proud to say I do not tweet and (with a few exceptions) I do not follow anyone on Twitter / X. Twitter — more noise, less signal — is exactly what the world does not need. Rather than following people on Twitter, I would respectfully suggest that you purchase some books from your local bookstore or Amazon.com.

Having studied economics quite intensely for a few years (what an utter waste of brain cells), I have a hard time taking anything an economist says very seriously. But Mankiw is clearly an honest broker who does a great job of fairly describing and discussing differing viewpoints in the economics profession. - Larry Summers
