What an interesting blog this is! I didn’t know about it until Delong excerpted that fascinating bit about economists. I now have something new to look forward to – a happy man am I!
I don’t know, but my last two posts got three links and a lot of visits , but only a few of the regulars commented. I think that I’m sort of a dive bar where people go to when they’re slumming but don’t want to be seen in.

Well, a kinder, gentler Republican is President now so… I’m guessing the audience for bashing big finance (BigFi?) amoung left-leaning policy wonks is limited to begin with and especially so when the WaPo is writing stories about how big donors are refusing to write checks to D’s because they’re too anti-business(!!!).
It’s interesting that Brad links you, since the audience amoung economists for bashing economists is pretty small, as you would expect. So I guess it’s the UMC vs. left and/or lower classes that’s the problem with linkage.

I guess I’m being boycotted. No comments in 24 hours.

Why would you be boycotted?

Why don’t you post more often? I thought you were retired…

I took four months off. I’m pretty erratic in several respects.

Actually, since half the economy disappeared the market for economics-bashing has been booming, even among economists. I got two links and a visit.

With Leninism, the successes are as big a problem as the failures.
Besides, I thought you were a Libertarian. Are you a different guy entirely?

I haven’t commented because I’m so busy I haven’t commented anywhere. But welcome back.

I’d comment more, if I wasn’t so busy not writing posts on my own blog.
