Greg Mankiw is my favorite blogger

most of the blogs i read are about technology. or they are written by friends.

but one blog i read for pure pleasure and intellectual stimulation. the one Greg Mankiw writes.

Mankiw is one of the most well-known economists in the world. He is one of the most popular professors at Harvard and a great guy (I have met him only once -- we had dinner about a month ago ... and i can attest he's a terrific conversationalist and super-smart). He was the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers during the first term of President George W Bush.

and his blog is fantastic and a great read. i highly recommend it.
