Good blog to check out

This is a blog I will go back to - Cafe Hayek: where orders emerge.  You might want to check it out - the content varies because economics covers the entire scope of  human behavior.  Always something new and interesting.

As its title suggests, it is about economics, authored by Donald Boudreaux, Professor of Economics at George Mason University.

From Wikipedia:
Boudreaux was an Assistant Professor of Economics at George Mason University from 1985 to 1989. He was an Associate Professor of Legal Studies and Economics at Clemson University from 1992 to 1997, and President of the Foundation for Economic Education from 1997 to 2001. He is now Professor of Economics at George Mason University, where he served as chairman of the Economic Department from 2001 to 2009.
During the Spring 1996 semester he was an Olin Visiting Fellow in Law and Economics at the Cornell Law School.  Boudreaux is now an adjunct scholar at a Washington think tank the Cato Institute.
He is the author of the 2007 book Globalization (Greenwood Guides to Business and Economics) and 2012 book Hypocrites and Half-Wits.
He contributes a column twice a month to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and blogs at the Cafe Hayek website under the name Don Boudreaux.


    Partner blogger:  Russell Roberts, Associate Editor. Russell Roberts is Professor of Economics and the J. Fish and Lillian F. Smith Distinguished Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Before coming to George Mason University, Roberts was at Washington University in St. Louis where he was the founding director of the Center for Experiential Learning at the John M. Olin School of Business and a Senior Fellow at the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government, and Public Policy. Roberts has also taught at the University of Rochester, Stanford University, and UCLA. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago.
    Roberts is a regular commentator on business and economics for National Public Radio's Morning Edition. In addition to numerous academic publications, he has written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Professor Roberts is especially interested in communicating economics to non-economists. His first novel, The Choice: A Fable of Free Trade and Protectionism, a jargon-free book on international trade written for the non-economist, was named one of the top ten books of 1994 by Business Week and one of the best books of 1994 by the Financial Times. An updated and revised edition was published in the spring of 2000. His new book is The Invisible Heart: An Economic Romance (MIT Press, 2001).
    Russ Roberts is the host of EconTalk, an economics podcast available here and through iTunes. He blogs at Cafe Hayek along with Don Boudreaux
