Constantine von Hoffman of Inc. magazine ranks what he calls the most essential economics news blogs.
I will leave No. 1 in suspense, but here are some of her other picks:
2. The Big Picture: You’re already reading Barry Ritholtz, right? Even if you aren’t you’ve probably seen him on the financial TV networks. There’s a reason for that. In addition to being a great talker this Wall St. money manager consistently pokes fact-based holes in received wisdom and popular opinion. He is also a New York Knicks fan. As a Chicago Cubs fan, I understand completely. 3. Real Time Economics: One of several fine Wall Street Journal blogs. This one sifts through the numbers to find what matters.
4. DealBook: Andrew Ross Sorkin and crew are a great source for all the deals and the news that’s going to impact the deals. They cover so many different things that you don’t need to know everything they report – but there’s guaranteed to be something important here for you.
5. Financial Armageddon: Is Michael J. Panzner an alarmist or a realist? I vote for alarming realist. Panzner, a financial pro and writer, is smart and digs deep to find stories, angles and implications you won’t see in many other places. Despite the name of the blog, he’s definitely not a screamer.
