http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_Revolution_%28blog%29

Marginal Revolution is a blog focused on economics run by economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, both of whom teach at George Mason University. The blog's slogan is "Small steps toward a much better world." The site is updated daily and focuses on current events and newly released reports or books. The "small steps" advocated by the slogan are usually free market–based policies, ranging from new forms of property rights to following the results of behavioral economics studies.
