Test post for myself. In the meantime, let me briefly give some links as to what's been influencing my mind concerning economics as of late:
Cullen Roche at Pragmatic Capitalist, as well Modern Monetary Realism (MMR) that he branched from MMT:

Dense stuff. On that same vein, some more general from Mosler et al on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT):

Steve Keen (a Post-Keynesian) and Richard Koo (a more neo-classical Keynesian) are still badass. Everyone should listen to what Koo says when he releases a note - it's prophetic!:

I still like my old favorite neo-classical economists too, such as Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, Greg Mankiw, Ken Rogoff, etc. But I like this stuff better, as it tends to describe reality better than neo-classical theory does imo. It seems that all my reservations and confusions over neo-classical economics while I considered myself a Keynesian indeed had a nice literature of new ideas and new economists.
What say you?
Also Rob, I noticed that you used "Rational" instead of "Reason". heh, intentional or not?
