Editorial: Bono’s moment of surrender to the mysterious ways of capitalism

It’s a beautiful day when one of the world’s biggest rock stars talks about the benefits of capitalism.

Global icon Bono is known for both his music and activism. He’s the frontman for U2, which has sold tens of millions of albums. He’s also been heavily involved in charitable causes, many of which are intended to help poorer nations escape grinding poverty.

This experience over the years has led him to recognize that the sweetest thing you can do for others isn’t charity. Last month, Bono did an interview with The New York Times Magazine. What he shared may give progressives vertigo, but perhaps they’ll see the wisdom of it in a little while.
