CARNIVAL OF THE CAPITALISTS calls at The Noble Pundit. Carnival founder Jay Solo solicits comments on the suggestion that the term "Carnival of ..." is becoming overused as indicating a compendium of submitted weblog posts. I maintain that such a signal has value provided the object of the preposition is well-defined. "The Capitalists" doesn't quite do it for posts involving both business, where it fits, and economics, where it doesn't, but it's close enough. On the other hand, the editors of this Carnival have been identifying interesting non-submitted posts, suggesting something more akin to a proceedings volume.
