What are the top 10 economy blogs?

Someone sent me CalculatedRiskBlog and I'm wondering what the top 10 economy blogs are at this point: http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/
Tip for best answer: M$1.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/business/economy

Specifically:
http://www.housingwire.com
http://econlog.econlib.org
http://www.myopenwallet.net
http://time-blog.com/curious_capitalist
http://www.acidlabs.org
http://www.giornalettismo.com
http://www.joydob.com
http://www.econtalk.org
http://reynaelena.com

These blogs are listed by "authority". Authority is defined as: "the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has."

Popularity is rather subjective so technorati came up with it's own "authority" measurement. As I'm sure a pro blogger like yourself knows, the popularity of a blog isn't dependant on the number of readers, hits, views, converstions or other typical website analytics. Linking (both inbound and outbound) is a simple way to measure the popularity of a blog. Other factors such as SE position, uniques, reach, readership loyalty, etc all contribute to the popularity of a blog.

I hope that this helps, Jason!

Can't help you with that Rob. Seems like a legit attempt at an answer to me.

I think I cancelled the first unhelpful with a helpful vote (can't remember for sure now!) but now three people in total have voted unhelpful.

Did you check all the sites? Maybe they're not quite as billed.

This is one of those (albeit rare) cases where I'm interested to know why this was marked unhelpful. I could care less who, but why did 2 people think that this answer wasn't helpful?

I'm not sure what you really wanted to know by asking for the "top 10" economy blogs. Most popular? Best? Most interesting and relevant for you?

The Economist recommends the following 14, which are certainly some of the best and most worth reading:

Marginal Revolution - http://www.marginalrevolution.com/

Economist's View - http://economistsview.typepad.com/

Brad DeLong - http://delong.typepad.com/

Greg Mankiw - http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/

Paul Krugman - http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/

Freakonomics - http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/

VoxEU - http://www.voxeu.org/

Market Movers - http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/market-movers

Megan McArdle - http://meganmcardle.theatlantic.com/

Dani Rodrik - http://rodrik.typepad.com/

Econbrowser - http://www.econbrowser.com/

The Undercover Economist - http://blogs.ft.com/undercover/

Brad Setser - http://blogs.cfr.org/setser/

Maverecon - http://blogs.ft.com/maverecon/

Some of them are written by economists for economists, some are fun and popular while being written by people who know their stuff, some are about global poverty and development, and some are mainly about the US financial markets

If you are interested in any aspect of economics, some or other of these are probably going to be worth reading.

I use Digg and Technorati instead of going to individual blogs.

I do not know about 10 blogs on the economy I am to busy with my real job to read that much. But for sound money advice that makes sense and some entertainment. I follow this one: http://www.daveramsey.com/tdrs/ Dave gives, as he puts it, the same advice your grandmother would give, he just keeps his teeth in.

Check out www.aju.edu/educateamerica.asp. Andrew Jackson University president Don Kassner has created a weekly video series explaining all of the current economic events. The 17th episode was posted on Feb 18

Calculated risk is good, but very data centric. A good complement is http://baselinescenario.com/ , which includes in-depth commentary and analysis with lots of links to supporting news items.
