I’m clearing out my e-mail inbox (I know it’s not a personal finance topic, but if someone has the answer for efficient e-mail management I’m all eyes).

Two of the messages announce blogs written by smart experts on hot button topics.

The first is Anna Lusardi, a Dartmouth professor and financial literacy expert. Her new blog (http://annalusardi.blogspot.com/). It doesn’t look like she’s posting daily. But it will be a good place to monitor for new research on why the heck so many Americans know so little about money.

Lusardi is Italian and one topic I’d like to see her address would be financial literacy in Italy and other parts of the world and whether it’s a global issue or a more localized one.

Closer to home, Mark Ireland a former assistant attorney general who is now a staff attorney with the Foreclosure Relief Law Project in St. Paul, launched Consumer Rights Watch (http://consumerrightswatch.blogspot.com) His blog will cover many issues relating to foreclosure and sub prime lending, two complex topics that are getting a lot of attention.
