Site Transitioning To New Blogging Platform

We will be transitioning this site from Blogger to WordPress (and a new hosting service) this evening. The ability to leave comments will be disabled for approximately an hour until the transfer is complete. There may be up to a 20 minute service outage when the actual switch happens. For readers there should be no […]

Reader Update on ECONNED

Dear patient readers, Loyalists may have noticed that I am still not back up to my old level of posts. That is because I still have heavy duty book responsibilities. I now know why Spaulding Grey called one of his books “the monster in the box” (in the box in those days because manuscripts were […]

Book Countdown: 3/2/10!

Absent major unexpected developments, the book is due to be published March 2, 2010, or 3/2/10, which strikes me as auspicious. I hate the need for self promotion, and I hope reader will take this sort of thing in stride. But if I don’t do it, only my publisher will. Actually, Palgrave is treating this […]

Reader Notice

I am provisionally opening comments back up. Regulars may recall that I went to restricting them to people who had registered. Unfortunately, Blogger limits that to Open ID or people with Blogger accounts. I had hoped to be switched over to WordPress an eternity ago, which allows for much more user friendly ways of registering, […]

Reader Notice Plus Antidote du Jour

Dear readers, I am traveling from Budapest to NYC today, which meant by the time I am operational I will probably be sufficiently travel-addled so as not to be much use on the blogging front. Barring mishap, I expect to be back to a semblance of normalcy Monday. Thanks for your patience.

Reader Notice Plus Antidote du Jour

Dear readers, I am traveling this evening and will be overseas for the next two weeks. I am still working but will have a satellite connection, and thus may not be posting at quite my normal level of frequency. I also hope you do not mind if some of my posts are more terse than […]

Reader Query

Given that we are (hopefully) going into a time of year when the news will continue to be less than gut-wrenching, and therefore provide less ready grist for blogging, I wondered if any readers might enjoy taking a hand at a book review. It can take either the “what is this book about and do […]

Reader Notice

I am in beautiful Vancouver Washington to speak at the Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference. My posts will be a bit light until I am back in New York (very late Tuesday, which effectively means Wednesday).

Reader Notice

I commented last week on the rising lack of civility and accompanying decline in the quality of comments. I do not know if these are independent developments or not. I cannot control for the latter, but the former is disturbing and serves to drive out good observations. In particular, I find ad hominem attacks particularly […]
