Abstract
In this powerful and accessible collection of new essays, international scholars and activists examine how official and corporate actors of globalization—including multinationals, the IMF and World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and "first world" governments—have enacted policies that limit medical access and promote disease and death for many in the poor world. The contributors to Sickness and Wealth provide a history of health and "development" strategies; reveal the grim health consequences of these policies throughout the world; and highlight the work of activists and organizations currently working for improved global health.
