We've been intensely busy with other projects this week, but we still found time to find the best money, business and career-related posts the blogosphere has to offer, all offered for your review below....
Rob Sama has done something I've been meaning get around to one of these days - build a tool to figure out how whether it's worth your while to melt down your pennies! He doesn't include the costs of sorting, smelting, transportation, storage and transactions, but it's still makes for a fun exercise!
Marcus Markou writes that "passionate people breathe life into a business. They take the business to new levels. But how do you make people passionate about business?"
Bob Curtis provides a primer for what beginning investors need to do to start making their money work for them, in a post that's essential reading for all investors.
No, it's not a CapitalOne blogad. G at How to Make a Million Dollars says that you should be carrying cash *and* credit in your pocketbook and that you should use them differently.
It's getting hard to go a week and not select a contribution by David Maister. This week, David asks questions that many fans of pop have might have asked over the years, including why music doesn't seem to matter as much as marketing?
Kingsley Tagbo has interviewed at a lot of companies over the years and has done very well in getting job offers. Here, he shares his interview guide in The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!
Welcome to the blogosphere's toolchest! Here, unlike other blogs dedicated to analyzing current events, we create easy-to-use, simple tools to do the math related to them so you can get in on the action too! If you would like to learn more about these tools, or if you would like to contribute ideas to develop for this blog, please e-mail us at:
Political Calculations' Recession Probability Track shows the probability that the U.S. economy will be in recession 12 months from the indicated date (shown in red) while revealing the probability trend over the past four years.
Previously, the probability of recession peaked at 50% on 4 April 2007, which means that March-April 2008 was the most likely period in which the NBER would have found the U.S. to be in recession.
As it happens, they almost did. The NBER instead chose December 2007 as the beginning month of the most recent recession (we had found a 46% probability for a recession beginning in that month!)

Political Calculations is also the online home of On the Moneyed Midways (aka OMM), a review of the best posts contributed to the week's best business and money-related blog carnivals. More than that, we also name one post in each edition as being The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere! and at the end of each year, we name The Best Post of the Year, Anywhere! as well as identifying the best blogs we found during the course of the year!
The link below will take you to the running index containing our most recent back issues (you can easily navigate the index to find older editions.)
