I'd like to learn more about economics. I'm happy to hear suggestions about what I should read.

Someone who likes to read a lot elsewhere in cyberspace just recommended to me the Becker-Posner blog.

http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/



Here are the blogs I'd start with: For behavioral and general economics, my two favorites are Tyler Cowen and The Big Picture

http://www.marginalrevolution.com/

http://bigpicture.typepad.com/

For Development/Macroeconomics two great ones (besides Becker/Posner) are Greg Mankiw & Danny Rodrik

http://rodrik.typepad.com/

Mankiw is a bit more traditional than Rodrik, so they tend to have some great back & forth, and when the discussion jumps above college-level they tend to link/explain things. </econ nerd>


Thanks for the suggestions. I see Big Picture just moved to a new URL.
