Econospeak Again A Top 101 Economics-Finance Blog

Summary:
According to Focus (last year it was top 100).  For full details see Focus-Economics-Finance-Blogs .  This is non-trivial in that 17 blogs that were on last year are off.  There are 18 new ones, and the total number rose from 100 to 101.  I note that Brian Dowd who runs this has us more accurately described.  We are no longer a finance blog, which was how we were labeled last year.  Now we are a "left-wing" blog.  I am not mentioned personally now (and there is no photo) with nobody mentioned by name.  We are a group.  We write well, drawing on quotes from media or blogosphere, and even if somebody disagrees with us, we are always "funny and interesting to read."  I shall not complain.Barkley Rosser.

Barkley Rosser
I remember how loud it was. I was a young Economics undergraduate, and most professors didn’t really slam points home the way Dr. Rosser did. He would bang on the table and throw things around the classroom. Not for the faint of heart, but he definitely kept my attention and made me smile. It is hard to not smile around J. Barkley Rosser, especially when he gets going on economic theory. The passion comes through and encourages you to come along with it in a truly contagious way. After meeting him, it is as if you can just tell that anybody who knows that much and has that much to say deserves your attention.
