Welcome Wagon: Dean Baker Blogs

12:00 PM Apr 10, 2006

Special welcome to the blogosphere to Dean Baker of DIA community member Center for Economic & Policy Research.  After a decade enduring the Job-like tribulations of correcting journalists' economic homework in the Economic Reporting Review mailing list (which has been one of my Monday treats for years), Dean's rechristened it today as a blog:

Economics is a field sorely in need of more contested terrain to challenge neoliberal orthodoxy and its megaphone of journalistic lassitude.  BeatThePress (optimistic title!) joins such luminaries as Max Sawicky (blog) and Left Business Observer's Doug Henwood (podcast) on that elite team operating deep in the wilds of the dismal science.
