The Becker-Posner Blog
He's a Nobel Prize-winning economist. He's a famed legal scholar and federal judge. Together they fight crime write a blog. As of today, that is. [once again, via MeFi]
It's a collaboration between economist Gary Becker and federal circuit judge Richard Posner. Posner I've heard of, and I get a vaguely warm and pleasant feeling when I hear his name; Becker is unfamiliar to me. He was even unknown to Matt Haughey, who helped code the site: "I knew who Posner was, but figured the Becker guy was 'some old man, probably a colleague' as I told a friend." So this is Becker's big chance to step out into the limelight and finally make something of his life. I'm already subscribed to the newsfeed. I can't wait to read what they have to say.
