David Beckworth, associate professor of economics at Western Kentucky University, adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and former economist at the U.S. Department of Treasury, has been writing a highly informed economics blog since 2007. While the posts assume a certain familiarity with macroeconomic theory, anyone who has taken a high school economics class will be able to follow the vast majority of Dr. Beckworth's musings. Recent entries have examined the Chinese economic crisis, offered critiques of the Fed, and pieced out recent declines in government spending. Postings have also been grouped into a number of thematic categories, such as Eurozone Crisis, Secular Stagnation, and What Caused the Great Recession? The blog can also easily be searched by readers' topic of interest. For instance, typing in "subprime" returns over a dozen articles from the past seven years.
