Karl Marx, notes Robert Bellafiore at Commonplace, once admitted that capitalism had built wonders greater than the Egyptian pyramids. This sheer power to get things done and make life better, writes Bellafiore in his review of John Cassidy’s Capitalism and its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI, helps explain its uncanny ability to shrug off continuous attacks and recover from its recurring crises.
Radical Transgenderism Takes Another Hit
The 11,000-member American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) – which includes hundreds of Canadian members – “has come out unequivocally against ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries in adolescents under age 19,” writes Leor Sapir in City Journal. The ASPS has also joined a growing number of international organizations in warning about the potential physical and psychological damage to children and teens of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
[Editor’s note: Two days after the ASPS’s announcement, the American Medical Association announces it now agrees that gender-altering “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”]
