Welcome to the Friday, September 11, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways! Each week, we seek out the best posts from the past week's business and money-related blog carnivals and present them here to kick off your weekend reading entertainment!
But that's not all! For those of you who aren't satisfied with a list of the best posts we found in the week that was, we've gone the extra mile to identify the posts that are Absolutely essential reading, our signal to you of the posts that rank among the best of the year. And for the truly time-constrained, who can only devote enough time to read just one money-or-business-related blog post, we've awarded the one post you need to read with the title of being The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!.
And for the very truly time constrained, we'll stop going on and let you get right to it....
