Welcome to a special Saturday edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the only weekly wrapup of the best posts from the business and money-related blog carnivals. As always, one post each week is declared to be The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!(TM)!
Why a special Saturday edition? In one word - "fracturation" (yes, we're prone to making up words here at Political Calculations!). Once upon a time, there was only one blog carnival dedicated to covering money and business related matters on the web - the Carnival of the Capitalists. But, with the growth of the blogosphere, and the ease of creating new carnivals, the blogosphere has become "saturated" with new carnivals (today's edition features more carnivals than ever before.) These newer carnivals have tended to focus on narrow areas of interest, with the result being that carnival content has "fractured". Take the two key words involved, and we get "fracturation!"
But that's enough about the state of blog carnivals. This week's issue awaits below....
