New Superblog - Macrobusiness.com.au

Well, three of my favourite bloggers:

• Houses and Holes - by David Lwellyn-Smith (formerly of Business Spectator)
• The Unconventional Economist - by economist Leith van Onselen
• Delusional Economics

Have joined forces with a fourth (Sell the news) to form a "super-blog" that collates all four, plus adds some excellent resources and links.

Macro Business 

In their own words:

MacroBusiness was formed by four bloggers who reckon the gap between the Australian business media and reality has widened to a gulf.

That this is possible without the heavy-hand of a dictator is testament to the power of vested interests, monopolies, weak government, closed ideologies and a perennial culture of populism.

In effect, it means our leadership class can make unaccountable economic and business blunders, or, they are measured against entirely inappropriate yardsticks.

At MacroBusiness we use reason, history and ideas to bring you a bigger picture of the choices we face for our economy, businesses and investments.

We are the hedge fund of Australian business media.

I think they will eventually form a better alternative to the major aggregator of financial news and opinion, Business Spectator.

I have changed my blogroll to reflect the amalgamation and wish them all the best. For those of you who still watch/listen the major commentators on the mainstream press (e.g AFR, Channel 7/9/10, The Age, The Aussie etc ad nauseam), for shame!!!!
