The overuse of capitalization is rampant, and it's getting worse. People tend to capitalize when emphasizing a point or because they think the word is important and deserves to be capitalized. I looked up the following words in numerous dictionaries, and none were listed. - Southern California - Southern Italy - West Texas - Texas Hill Country - Eastern Kentucky The proper nouns--California, Italy, Texas, and Kentucky--should be capitalized, but what about southern, eastern, west, and hill country? Or how about the words below? Is it . . . - French fries or french fries? - cheddar cheese or Cheddar cheese? - Chianti or chianti? - cabernet sauvignon or Cabernet Sauvignon? - Brussels sprouts or brussels sprouts? You may be surprised at some of the answers you'll find. Dictionaries may not list these words, and style guides avoid specifics. The good news is when using this book, you won't have to wonder again. The book covers geographical locations, compass points, religious deities, topographical locations, streets and roads, buildings, animal breeds (including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, donkeys, goats, sheep, and poultry), titles, academic degrees and courses, wine varietals, food groups, acronyms, eponyms, dialogue, brand names, titles of books, other works of art, and more. What do you do when the word you're looking up isn't in the dictionary and isn't covered by your style guide? Check How to Capitalize Anything.

What does it mean to turn something into capital? What does considering things as assets entail? What does the prevalence of an investor’s viewpoint require? What is this culture of valuation that asks that we capitalize on everything? How can we make sense of the traits, necessities and upshots of this pervasive cultural condition?This book takes the reader to an ethnographic stroll down the trail of capitalization. Start-up companies, research centers, consulting firms, state enterprises, investment banks, public administrations: the territory can certainly prove strange and disorienting at first sight, with its blurred boundaries between private appropriation and public interest, economic sanity and moral breakdown, the literal and the metaphorical, the practical and the ideological. The traveler certainly requires a resolutely pragmatist attitude, and a taste for the meanders of signification. But in all the sites in which we set foot in this inquiry we recognize a recurring semiotic complex: a scenario of valuation in which things signify by virtue of their capacity to become assets in the eye of an imagined investor.A ground-breaking anthropological investigation on the culture of contemporary capitalism, this work directs attention to the largely unexplored problem of capitalization and offers a critical resource for current debates on neoliberalism and financialization.
