The Biggest Story of the Week « The Baseline Scenario
I just discovered this blog from National Public Radio. It has wonderful explanation of all aspects of the economic crisis as well as intelligent comments from readers. I thought this story about 401k’s and public pension was a chilly reminder of some of the things that aren’t being talked about. Look around this site it has much to offer. Professor Simon Johnson of MIT is one of the main contributors and organizers of this blog. But he speaks in English rather than mathematics, and there are even videos if you look hard enough.
