Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok's economics blog at George Mason University — one of the most influential economics publications of the internet era, known for combining rigorous economics with cultural commentary.
Marginal Revolution's model: daily posts combining links to economic research, cultural observations, restaurant recommendations, and book recommendations — all filtered through Tyler Cowen's unique cross-domain perspective. Demonstrated that a blog could function as a serious economics publication while reaching a non-academic audience. Cowen's ' Markets in Everything' tag (finding market dynamics in unexpected places) became a minor genre. Among the most influential economics publications of the past 20 years.
