Harvard’s Dani Rodrik hasn’t been blogging long, but he’s
already earned his place among the most influential econobloggers. He’s been
looking at the immigration bill, for instance, and defending the temporary worker
program against opponents such as the New
York Times editorial page and his colleague
George Borjas.
So far so normal. But the really impressive thing is that Rodrik’s prolific
blogging — the presence of a newborn in his household notwithstanding — has
persauded Borjas himself to start his
own blog. If you want trenchant and intelligent commentary from the anti-immigration
side of the debate, then The Borjas Blog should definitely be at the top of
your list of places to visit.
