Welcome to the Friday, April 18, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, where we've identified the best business and money-related blog posts from the best of the past week's blog carnivals dedicated to business and money-related issues.
After last week's edition, we were ready for trouble this week, but fortunately, all was quiet and no pseudo or parody haiku was to be found in any of the carnivals we've featured this week!
So let's get right to it then! The best posts of the week that was await you below....

| Carnival of HR | Watching China's Rise | Talent in China | Frank Mulligan looks at China's rampaging job market, where the country's export driven growth powers average annual salary growth of 16% and average job tenures of 18 months, which makes finding and keeping talent a difficult task. |
| Carnival of Money Stories | Rogue Debt Collectors Illegally Freeze Debtors' Accounts | Your Finish Rich Plan | Horror stories of people cut off from their bank accounts as a result of aggressive, and as it turns out, illegal conduct of overly aggressive debt collection agents.
