What free-market economists are not telling us is that the politics they want to get rid of are none other than those of democracy itself. When they say we need to insulate economic policies from politics, they are in effect advocating the castration of democracy.

WHAT DOES CASTRATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

castration

Castration

Castration is any action, surgical, chemical or otherwise, by which a biological male loses use of the testes. This causes sterilization; it also greatly reduces the production of certain hormones, such as testosterone. The term "castration" is sometimes also used to refer to the removal of the ovaries in the female, otherwise known as an oophorectomy or, in animals, spaying. Estrogen levels drop precipitously following oophorectomy, and long-term effects of the reduction of sex hormones are significant throughout the body. Castration of non-human animals is intended for favouring a desired development of the animal or of his habits, or preventing overpopulation.

Definition of castration in the English dictionary

The first definition of castration in the dictionary is removal of a man's testicles, as a form of punishment. Other definition of castration is removal of a male animal's testicles, to prevent reproduction; gelding. Castration is also the act of depriving of vigour, masculinity, etc; emasculation.
