100 Best Blogs for Economics Students


Click on Post title to be taken to list website

Review two blogs from this list of the 100 best blogs for economics students. Make sure they are from different categories, and don't repeat one that someone else has already done. Yes I realize that this means you will have to check the previous posts to see which ones have already been reviewed. The sooner you do this one the easier it will be. Reviews need to include:
1) Content
2) Appearance
3) Ease of Navigation
4) Apparent bias

**Due Sunday before midnight**

Welcome Class of 2013

Greetings future Economists! Your first task is to show me that you are able to find this site and leave a comment. So tell me one topic that you think that we will study this year. You may not copy anyone else's post, so posting earlier is better.
