Site of the Day for Monday, August 6, 2012
Cheery greetings to Canadian and British subscribers enjoying the August
holiday; commiserations to those who are not.
Economix
Today's site, a New York Times blog, provides an astute analysis of
economic concerns and couples it with a fascinating perspective on how
economics illuminates ordinary life. Gentle Subscribers will discover an
informative focus on the dismal science and its more upbeat younger sibling
-- behavioral economics.
"Explaining the Science of Everyday Life. ... Each day, Economix offers
perspectives from expert contributors." - from the website
This enlightening blog delves into a broad range of economic and financial
themes. More than a dozen topical sections, including health insurance,
women in the workforce, higher education, financial crisis, and banks, are
listed on the homepage, while a rundown of contributors cites a roster of
high flying economists. An ongoing weekly tracker notes the current job
creation numbers and the future forecasts. Among the recent,
attention-getting columns at Economix are "Theater Review Economics," a
poem on the European Central Bank's president, "Draghi at the Bat," and
"Want a Job? Move to Oman".
