Welcome to the January 23, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, where the cream of the business and money-related blogosphere has been skimmed from the top poured for you essential weekend reading!
We were startled this week to find that the Carnival of the Capitalists is back with a new edition. We had previously all but concluded that carnival host Jay Solo had folded the CotC, but instead it appears he's relaunched it anew - this time, in a more twitter friendly style.
The upside: Jay is a good editor who takes care in selecting the posts he presents. The downside: You won't find much other than the title to indicate whether clicking through is something you might want to do. But then, that creates opportunity for us....
Speaking of which, let's get to business. The best posts of the week that was await!...
