He devotes a lot of time to debunking all of the bad economics our public discourse is drowning in and expanding on the case he makes in his columns for the need to do more to create jobs and grow the economy rather than do austerity. Matt Yglesias is also very good especially on the Federal Reserve. There are numerous other excellent writers out there in the liberal blogosphere of course, but those 2 would be my nominees given the overriding importance of economic issues right now.Ron E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-69068740261306741402012-05-20T17:22:36.378-05:002012-05-20T17:22:36.378-05:00Te-Nehisi Coates and Jeffrey GoldbergTe-Nehisi Coates and Jeffrey GoldbergDaniel Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-70649460659878753922012-05-20T16:23:53.206-05:002012-05-20T16:23:53.206-05:00I think the "plainly worth reading" list...I think the "plainly worth reading" list to the right is pretty good start I'd also through in some of the well known people like Paul Krugman. In terms of interesting bloggers that plain bloggers might not know about I would to point people to the British film maker Adam Curtis's blog. Curtis is well known in Britain but is almost totally unknown in America, indeed you can only get one of his movies on netflix as far I can tell, despite the fact his films are shown on the BBC and regularly attract millions of viewers. He's made a series of interesting and controversial documentary films over the years dealing with everything from the limits of technocratic rationalism in a series called Pandora's Box to the use of Freudian thought about the mind and how that shaped the rise modern mass consumerism in a four part series called The Century of the Self. <br /><br />Here's a blog post about the rise of modern think tanks http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2011/09/the_curse_of_tina.html which is quite typical of his work, that is it sounds incredibly boring but he makes it really interesting and uses a lot of found news footage to tell the story as well. He also deals quite a bit with middle eastern history, here's a great post about the rise of the Baath party in Syria and how it relates to the current crisis there http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2011/06/longwalkdownlyndalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173899547449318257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-38489224166309820232012-05-20T16:21:45.261-05:002012-05-20T16:21:45.261-05:00Dean BakerDean BakerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-58194857353236713602012-05-20T16:04:39.725-05:002012-05-20T16:04:39.725-05:00Michelle Goldberg, Mike Konczal, Peter Frase.Michelle Goldberg, Mike Konczal, Peter Frase.Verynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-38711449988950388742012-05-20T15:54:03.683-05:002012-05-20T15:54:03.683-05:00Harold Meyerson and Michael Lind.Harold Meyerson and Michael Lind.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-34372246865168685162012-05-20T15:50:55.562-05:002012-05-20T15:50:55.562-05:00Jared Bernstein's On The Economy is good; Ta-N...Jared Bernstein's On The Economy is good; Ta-Nehisi Coates at the Atlantic, Alyssa Rosenberg at American Progress (for pop culture).
