Hipster economist Bruce Bartlett, who, I repeat, is not the dead guy from the Wall Street Journal has published his annual blog recommendations. This year B.B. gives a plug to Max Sawicky and his blog MaxSpeak, saying that Max is "unafraid to represent a far left, almost Marxist, viewpoint" and a "good enough economist to be moved by the data, which is rare among ideologues." Although Bartlett claims to read MaxSpeak regularly, he manages to use the old link, and not the current one, which is here.

B.B. also links to Brad DeLong but, again, fails to link directly to Brad's blog. At least he's expanded his horizons from last year's trinity of tripe (Joe Sully, Little Mick and Egg Boy).
