Welcome to the Saturday, June 14, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the only place on the web where you'll find the best posts from the best of the past week's business and money-related blog carnivals!
Lots of news this week in the world of the blog carnivals we regularly cover. First, the good news: the Carnival of Fraud has reappeared after a long absence, and it's become likely that the Carnival of the Capitalists may soon have a new edition after a long hiatus.
The bad news is that The Boring Made Dull's Economics and Social Policy blog carnival appears to have officially died this past week. Meanwhile, our favorite real estate related blog carnival, Bloodhoundblog's Odysseus Medal, continues on its hiatus, as several major events have kept Greg Swann & company exceptionally busy (we understand that hosting and liveblogging a national conference can do that!)
If we were to pick a recent Bloodhoundblog post as an Odysseus Medal winner ourselves, though, Brian Brady's view that the Canadian real estate market in the western provinces has entered the danger zone, which he argues bodes well for the investing climate in the U.S., would be our pick.
For the rest of our picks from the active members of the world of business and money-related blog carnivals, keep scrolling down....
