Top 30 Heterodox Keynesian/MMT Economics Blogs, Updated

This is my updated list of top 30 heterodox Keynesian/MMT economics blogs. Again, it is not based on objective criteria like number of web hits, but is a rather subjective list, on the basis of how popular various sites seem to be and (in my view) their importance.

Have I made any serious oversights?
I. Post Keynesian Blogs
(1) Debt Deflation, Steve Keen
http://www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/

(2) Post Keynesian Economics Study Group
http://www.postkeynesian.net/
This is not strictly a blog, but it is a great resource!

(3) Real-World Economics Review Blog
http://rwer.wordpress.com/

(4) Naked Keynesianism
http://nakedkeynesianism.blogspot.com/

(5) Lars P. Syll’s Blog
http://larspsyll.wordpress.com/
Lars P. Syll’s blog is an excellent resource, and the posts are wide-ranging and frequent.

(6) Philip Pilkington, Fixing the Economists
http://fixingtheeconomists.wordpress.com/
Philip Pilkington (of Nakedcapitalism.com) has started blogging here again. A great blog.

(7) Thoughts on Economics, Robert Vienneau
http://robertvienneau.blogspot.com/
Robert Vienneau’s blog has lots of advanced posts on Post Keynesianism economic theory.

(8) Unlearningeconomics Blog
http://unlearningeconomics.wordpress.com/
I believe “Unlearningeconomics” has wound down the blog recently, which is a pity because it was a great blog.

    Thanks for including me LK - I'm still around though, but I'm quite busy so it will just be a bit less regular than before. I do have some posts in the works.

    Does the New Economics Foundation not promote a 21-hour work week?

    So, the levy institute posts a lot of lectures in their clumsy way that offers no easy download option and is dodgy on my mobile device, so I found a workaround.

    The audio files are stored in the directory:

    http://www.levyinstitute.org/audio/

    which doesn't allow access. But, access is allowed, if you have the filename.

    To access lectures in mp3 or other downloadable format, first go to the events page

    http://www.levyinstitute.org/events/

    Then select a year and an event. such as
    http://www.levyinstitute.org/news/?event=49

    use their interface to find a speaker you want to listen to, then "view page source" with your browser*. CTRL+F 'speakername' to find the .mp3 or .rm filename with the lecture. Typically the filename will be located immediately above the speaker's name.

    Then simply append the file name to the directory mentioned above, and viola, a regular audio file:

    http://www.levyinstitute.org/audio/rio_wray.mp3

    *to view page source on a pc, hold down the right mouse button on a blank part of the webpage and select the option 'view page source'.

    Nice list! I would however like to add some German ones.

    Querschusse (very factual about credit and debts, but nowadays that alone is almost enough to be included in a list like this!) http://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/quickview.do?SERIES_KEY=ICP.M.U2.N.000000.4.ANR&

    From the Netherlands Money for nothing, very good about the mechanics of monetary policy (and the policy consequences of these mechanics).http://www.money-for-nothing.nl/

      You're welcome!

      Naked Keynesianism is indispensable reading -- I check it every day.

    It's mostly in Italian but with some post in English, for example this one.
