Capitalism and Health: Markets and Child Mortality Link
An economist links falling child mortality to market expansion. Global under-five deaths have fallen 35 percent in 20 years, from 7.7 million to a lower rate of 53.3 per 1000. While nations like Singapore show low rates, Equatorial Guinea remains high. The study credits immunization, bednets, HIV interventions, and ARV therapy, with free markets driving prosperity and health gains in Asia and Africa. The U.S. death rate dropped but ranking worsened due to statistical methods and childbirth mortality not counted in all countries. Concerns over childhood obesity and calls for balanced policy emphasize parental responsibility over government control.

Legal immigration expansion as remedy for border crisis
Steve Chapman argues for widening legal visa channels instead of enforcement only. He cites Arizona debate and Senator Sylvia Allen’s letter, noting current limits push migrants into dangerous, illegal crossings. Expansion would reduce undocumented work, tax avoidance, and exploitation by trafficking networks while stabilizing border communities.
