In The Mystery of Capitalism , the darling of neoliberalism, Hernando de Soto posits that secure property titles explain "why capitalism triumphs in the West and fails everywhere else." While social scientists have taken him to task for an oversimplification of the causes and remedies of poverty, historians have contributed little to this important policy debate. Applying comparative methods across time and space, such a retrospective analysis exposes serious flaws in de Soto's thesis. Case studies of Paris, Chicago, and Mexico City covering successive, fifty-year periods support his contention that property law was the single most important factor in determining the fate of rural migrants trying to find a place to live in these exploding cities. But in each case, residential property played a far more complex role in creating the social and physical geography of the city than its simple exchange value. This article illuminates some of these alternative economic uses and embedded cultural meanings of identities of place. It also shows how urban growth machines create capital value in property for some by creating environmental injustice of substandard conditions of everyday life for others.

Blastomycosis is an acute or chronic primary infection of the respiratory system, endemic in North America (United States of America and Canada), Africa and Asia. We report a case in Mexico, in a three years old child who had been born in California and lived in Chicago, U.S.A. The patient presented pulmonary symptoms prior to development of a skin ulcer. Blastomyces dermatitidis was identified by mycological and molecular procedures. The patient was successfully treated with amphotericin B, oral ketoconazole and itraconazole.

This team of nurses and doctors donated a week's vacation, the cost of their airline tickets, and many hours of preparation to help more than 200 children who could not afford orthopaedic care in Colombia. During the outreach mission, Colombian health care staff worked closely with the American team to exchange knowledge of orthopaedic skills and surgical techniques. The impact that members of this team have on the care of these needy children makes the countless hours of preparation for the mission and the work in Colombia very worthwhile. The sharing of time, knowledge, and expertise has not only influenced the orthopaedic health care for children in this small area of the world, but is also a rewarding educational experience for all involved.
