“Economics View” Mark Thoma
Department of Economics at the University of Oregon
[Perspectives on current economics]

http://economistsview.typepad.com/

Mark Thoma’s daily blog is a much more in-depth and serious look into the world of economics than Marginal Revolution. His blog is easy to search by topic, title, and via a search function increasing its functionality. He also includes links to a multitude other economist’s blogs as well as to his comments on the articles and postings of other fellow economists. Much if not most of his postings are reactions to the posts of others, including the authors of Marginal Revolution.
You could spend months digging through and trying to piece together Thoma’s arguments and opinions. However I really do encourage you to visit his personal webpage as well in order to get a clearer picture of his background. He teaches upper level econometrics and monetary policy courses, so his actual lecture material may not be very useful, however through the utilization of quotes from famous economist’s Thoma shows some of his views and leanings.
Once again I can’t stress enough how complete of a source and how useful the search functions are for Economist’s View.
