Daily online reads about Business & Economics

September 11, 2013 10:10 AM

I'd like to read some things online each day that make me think about business and economic principles. Know some good blogs / publications / message boards?

A few years ago I asked this question.

I did some casual reading since then and picked up some basics. Circumstances have come up again where I really should be thinking with my business brain.

So far, I like to read Forbes.com to get some daily thinking in about basic business and economic principles.

What else is out there?

I'm interested more in the micro-economic / small business side of things, less on the big-picture kind of thoughts about the world economic crisis, currency valuation, etc.

Maybe there's some kind of message board where people post "here is what is going on with my business, can you help me" type questions.

Have you looked at the Harvard Business Review blogs? Their case studies are also fascinating. You mention looking at Forbes.com, but you might also find the recent WSJ series on startups really interesting--a close look at the cats and dogs involved in building a business.

for finance? Matt Levine @ Bloomberg. Smart and funny and he covers complex finance. Great, amazing stuff. Not quite on point, but.....it's still a great read. (and the sort of read where he talks over your head enough to make you learn)
