I have already drawn attention to a list of the top 40 Austrian economics blogs.
In response, here is my list of top 30 heterodox Keynesian/MMT economics blogs and web resources. It is not based on objective criteria like number of web hits, but is very much a subjective list, on the basis of how popular various sites seem to be and (in my view) their importance:

I don't see how New Deal 2.0 is 'heterodox' (despise that term by the way), I've been reading the Rortybomb blog on that site for a number of years and there is nothing particularly unorthodox about its approach.
ReplyDeleteDoes not Marshall Auerback blog there? He did the last time I checked.
DeleteMarshall Auerback is a most eloquent supporter of MMT.
dear lord keynes,
Deletenot any more:
http://www.nextnewdeal.net/marshall-auerback
for some background:
http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=14930
early on, when lynn parramore, founding editor, was there (she is now at alternet) new deal 2.0 was pretty good. nowadays (last two years) there are some good blogs (james galbraith) sprinkled in among the crap (bo cutter).
Submitting some other names for your review:
ReplyDeleteStephen Kinsella
www.stephenkinsella.net
I think he is doing some very interesting work on making Stock Flow Consistent models (a la Godley & Lavoie) as viable policy tools and he has started doint that based on the Ireland economy thanks to an INET grant.
Ramanan
http://www.concertedaction.com/
His website is more a soap box for his thoughts rather than forum for discussion but I find it illuminating.
John Weeks
http://jweeks.org/
Synthesis of Keynes and Marx that is more relevant today than ever before.
John Smithin
http://dept.econ.yorku.ca/~jsmithin/
An old prof whom I did not understand when I took his monetary economics course many years ago but whom I understand far better today.
http://sfc-models.net/
Good resource for those interested in Wynne Godley's work and carrying on with it.
Thanks for these links. I might add some of these.
Delete...The Illusionist is very disappointed given that he's interviewed most prominent PKers and published some (possibly) original articles on Naked Capitalism.com...
ReplyDeleteAlso THE original outlet for the MMT folks. But we're humble like that. It's classy...
OK, that was an oversight!
DeleteI will edit this list and add you.
Illusionist,
DeleteJust to be perfectly clear: you are the Philip Pilkington, author of this:
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/07/philip-pilkington-market-monetarism-or-an-attempt-to-speed-up-the-decline-in-real-wages.html#Blogroll
Is there a regular blog or web address where you blog?
Lord Keynes: Why do you consider Steve Keen to be of more importance than Paul Davidson? Just curious.
ReplyDelete(1) he has developed Minsky's FIH and Fisher's debt deflation theory in important ways, and
ReplyDelete(2) he is very active in blogging and media appearances
Submitting one more for your consideration (Real Deal Economics): realdealecon.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteBut Minsky never thought of himself as a Post Keynesian.. He always told me he was, or at least wanted to be, thought of as a just "Keynesian" like Paul Samuelson and Bob Solow. [For example, he never eve submitted a manuscript to be published in the Journal of post Keynesian Economics.]
ReplyDeleteIn fact Minsky's whole thesis of financial fragility is antithetical to Keynes's claim that the faults of an entrepreneurial economy (i.e., its "failure to provide full employment nd its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of income and wealth) is due to uncertainty about the future.
Minsky associated his financial fragility analysis as merely an explanation of the "business cycle" where the first stage of finance always was associated with a full employment society.
Professor Davidson,
DeleteIt is an honour to have a comment from you. I have read your paper “Setting the Record Straight on ‘A History of Post Keynesian Economics’” (Journal of Post Keynesian Economics 26.2 [2003–2004] 245–272) where you discuss Minsky.
Nevertheless it is not true to say that Minsky did have some serious criticisms of the neoclassical synthesis?
I think Vernengo has shown this in his paper:
Matias Vernengo, “The Return of Vulgar Economics: A Rejoinder to Colander, Holt and Rosser,” Working Paper No: 2011-14.
http://ideas.repec.org/p/uta/papers/2011_14.html
The social cycles of finance seem to be one of the slower-developing parts of economic theory.
DeleteI think I know why. Financier behavior is driven by a *very small number of people* who run banks, brokerages, etc. Barely enough people to describe large aggregates. The same is arguably true of industrial firm owners/controllers (also a group whose behavior is very poorly described by any form of economics). Group psychology seems to be the best approach to these small groups of people with disproportionate impact on the economy; frankly I think Veblen took this approach.
Imagining history has been relatively active for 2 years now. Its a grad student (me) with stuff on economic history and legal history. I'm at UMass. The blog was linked to by Mankiw Re: the Anti-Mankiw movement.
ReplyDeleteHTTP://imagininghistory.blogspot.com
Not very active right now as I prepare to go on the job market this year...
You've forgot a BIG one. Yanis Varoufakis. He has a blog as well as twitter.
ReplyDeleteYou left out the biggest of all: http://www.paecon.net/PAEReview/ - also a great source for others.
