Russ Nelson: The Angry Economist
Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists. Economics deals with society's fundamental problems; it concerns everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of every citizen. - Ludwig von Mises
Russ Nelson is the Angry Economist and he is angry because of peoples indifference and ignorance of the important subject of economics. Not surprisingly I share much of his anger.
It is worth the time to read his economic blog. It is not only well written and informative, but Russ actually has a real job and takes many good experiences from his personal and professional life.
