The potential role of blogs in helping disseminate working papers and other grey literature is something that has fascinated me for a long time – I’m curious about all the interesting unpublished work that is sitting in people’s filing cabinets, either to one day be worked up into a formal paper or perhaps doomed to remain there for ever. I was pleased to see Mike Savage post two fascinating articles of this sort online: sociological ruminations on piketty and cultural capital and the city: reflections on manchester. I hope other sociologists follow his lead!
