Ineffective Theory

Recommended Reading

I don’t maintain anything like a “blogroll”—I imagine there’d be some pressures associated with that—but since I’m no longer doing regular links posts, heres a short list of sites I’ve found to be consistently worth reading over the last year or so. It’s roughly in descending order of how excited I am when I see that something new is available.

Statecraft: this is at the top of the list for a reason.

Macroscience: similar to Statecraft (both are affiliated with IFP), but with a focus on metascience/science policy.

Tanner Greer’s blog: outside of the explicit “progress studies” crowd, this is the highest-quality political/historical commentary I’m aware of.

Foreign affairs: requires, but worth, a subscription

Igor Pak’s blog: mathematician at UCLA (at least until he gets kicked out for occasionally exhibiting a spine); does not post frequently.

Michael Weiss’s blog: like Pak, posts rarely, but about a wider set of topics.

Marginal revolution and ACX remain somehow “central”. Cowen’s role as a link aggregator is unmatched.

Asterisk magazine: with FA above, this is one of two periodicals to which I have an actual physical subscription.

Futility closet: just a trivia blog. Somehow it strikes me as impressive for a site to be just anything. Anyway, this site is no longer on hiatus.
