Welcome to the Friday, July 30, 2010 edition of On the Moneyed Midways! Each week, we review hundreds of posts to bring you the best posts we found from the business end of the blogosphere, at least according to the selection provided by the past week's money and business-related blog carnivals.
But quite possibly, the money and business blog carnivals we review each week may have missed what Tyler Cowen has called "the best blog post of this year so far."
The post to which he's referring is this one by StatsGuy of The Baseline Scenario. Titled "Good Government vs. Less Government, StatsGuy wonders if the correlations revealed by the Heritage Economic Freedom Index are really communicating that it's "better" government that correlates with greater economic growth, instead of "less" government, which is how many read the evidence.
It's a very good post, one that would almost certainly have been picked up by the now off-again "Carnival of the Capitalists" in years past. It most definitely would have made OMM if it had been contributed to a business or money-related blog carnival.
But the best post of the year so far? We'll show you the answer to that question in our annual wrap-up edition for 2010 early next year....
In the meantime, the best posts we found among the blog carnivals that are still running are ready for your review!
