Blogs ? New and Improved

By Jonathan H. Adler

Some developments in blogosphere.

• The Business Law Prof Blog has re-opened for business, and it?s something of an Ohio enterprise.  The four contributors are Stefan J. Padfield (Akron), Eric Chaffee (Dayton), Michael Borden (Cleveland-Marshall), and J. Scott Colesanti (Hofstra).
• The University of Pennsylvania Program on Regulation has launched a new regulatory blog called, appropriately enough, RegBlog.  It?s overseen by Cary Coglianese, though it appears many of his law school (and university) colleagues will contribute as well.
• The Austrian Economists blog has a new name (and address): Coordination Problem.  Pete Boettke explains the name change here.  I think it?s a smart move, as the phrase ?Austrian economics? is all too often associated with the idiosyncratic ideological views of a few vocal proponents, and not the school of economic thought that developed from the work of F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Carl Menger, and Eugen Böhm-Bawerk (among others), and was popularized by Henry Hazlitt.
