OMyGawd! Posner & Becker are finally blogging! Posner writes a book every month or so, and Becker ran a column in Businessweek for years, so I really look forward to them going at it online.

Becker is probably the smartest economist I met at Chicago, a group that includes Kevin Murphy and Ronald Coase. Posner's current position on judicial guidance ("Be Reasonable") is the product of having taken, and ultimately rejecting, pretty much every philosophic position before that. Deeply wise. Posner is also, single handedly, the most influential academic department on the planet.
