“Adam Smith Lives!” is dead


No updates in several months — the only thing I can conclude is that the blog, Adam Smith Lives!, is dead.

Gone from the blogroll.

I’m interested in finding good blogs on economics, world history, and government — Dear Reader, which ones have I overlooked?

    Masochist, I’m guessing. Still, he’s a voice others listen to.

    I’m not sure why my own post didn’t make it, but originally I had said:

    Greg Mankiw? The former Bush advisor?

    He’s not on the blogroll, but I don’t miss him.

    Greg Mankiw missing? Some would say that’s a great idea.

    I gather you would agree with that last thought, WKG?

    “Ack! You have an economics blogroll and it’s missing Greg Mankiw.”

    This Greg Mankiw?

    “At this point in the presidential campaign, Senator John McCain is the candidate of ideas on issues of tax policy.”

    The same Greg Mankiw who was was the chairman of President Bush’s Council of Economic Advisors from 2003 to 2005?

    Are you a masochist or just being sarcastic?

    “No updates in several months — the only thing I can conclude is that the blog, Adam Smith Lives!, is dead.”

    Thank God! Not that I have anything against Adam Smith.He is just misused and abused by certain quarters who should know better and probably do. But I certainly wouldn’t read a knucklehead from GMU about him, regardless of the bold faced initials after her name.

    Anyone wealthy enough can buy a university and that’s precisely what happened with GMU.

    GMU is a joke, not an institution of higher learning.

    Some decent econ blogs:

    There really bare some great blogs out here. I liked yours when I stumbled across it a year or so ago but there are so many good blogs and so little tie.

    Certainly, I think there is a presumption to pay attention to anyone who splits time between Edinburgh and Bordeaux! Nice work if you can get it.

    Thanks for the tip, Gavin.
