Professors in the MOB.
The Minnesota Organization of Bloggers (MOB, see sidebar) is an informal affiliation of Minnesota-based bloggers. Some of the blogs are personal, others are political, still others are policy-based.

While I was aware of one academic blogger (SCSU Scholars) in the mix, it was only the other day that I discovered Market Power. Like SCSU's King Banaian, the proprietor of Market Power is an academic economist.

If academics isn't your thing, don't be put off; the site is quite readable. It's especially useful if you are interested in the economics of sports, sports stadiums, and the like.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'’s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
