The Big Picture by Barry Ritholtz is by far the best macro economics blog I follow. Been slow lately since Barry was writing his book “Bailout Nation” but he just finished so it should be back to normal. Take it with a grain of salt, but Barry’s blog usually makes the top of a number of blog rankings. He’s always on some show in CNBC, but more important than anything else, Barry calls it like he sees it (without any sugarcoating).
Calculated Risk is also great, but the death of Tanta is a great loss.
