Weblogs of interest
Do you have a site you think should be linked? Email me: JimMahar@FinanceProfessor.com
- SynergyFest -techincally Synergy partners. Interesting look at finance, accounting, and a lot more.
- Institutional Economics --As the name suggest it is mainly about Economics, but much of it is useful for finance and in particular international Finance
- KnowledgeProblem _a great place to see economics in actio, particular focus of late has been on energy, but topics seem to vary. Warning--like @ FinanceProfessor, be careful or you may inadvertantly learn something!
- Brad Delong's weblog . He is an econ professor at Berkley, writes for Fortune, is a journal editor, and has an awesome site. He must be BUSY! That said, he is quite a bit left of where I am on many things, but that is OK, we can disagree on things :)
