Bloggers Tell It Like It Is

The world's largest foundation devoted to entrepreneurship is out with a new report (authored by Kaufman Foundation Senior Fellow Tim Kane) featuring collective insights about the U.S. economy from highly-ranked bloggers (including yours truly) who regularly write about the subject:

America’s top economics bloggers represent a diverse group of writers with wide-ranging intellectual and political vantage points on one of the most important issues of the day—the economy. As independent thinkers who are immersed in discourse through the innovation of blogging, these economics writers have a unique voice and perspective, and potentially profound influence. The Kauffman Foundation is tapping their insights in a new series of surveys called Kauffman Economic Outlook: A Quarterly Survey of Top Economics Bloggers.

This inaugural survey was conducted in mid-January 2010 by soliciting input from among the top 200 economics bloggers ranked by Palgrave’s Econolog.net. Ten core questions and seven topical questions were designed in coordination with a distinguished board of advisors.

It probably won't surprise those who've been paying attention (e.g, Financial Armageddon visitors) that individuals who spend a lot of time reading the economic tea leaves, but who aren't lumbered with the conflicts-of-interest that many highly-paid Wall Street shills strategists are, are less-than-upbeat about where things stand.
