CurrencyTrading.net has published their list of the Top 100 economics blogs. It's a bit odd. The main categories include Greg Mankiw, Tim Worstall, Cafe Hayek, and the Club For Growth. Aside from the Club for Growth, all those sites feature fine economic thinkers, but they're resolute conservatives, ad they bring those assumptions to their economics. Their liberal counterparts like Brad DeLong and the Angry Bear, however, are ghettoized into a "liberals" category, which also includes, inexplicably, The Wall Street Journal blog. And Megan McArdle escapes both the "conservative" and "libertarian" and is just "economic policy." It's all a bit odd. My understanding of the economics profession is that it's much less tilted to the right than the public face of the economics profession, but I've never really gotten a good explanation as to why liberal economists have let their discipline be painted as an adjunct of the Wall Street Journal editorial page.
