'Sickness and Wealth: The Corporate Assault on Global Health' edited by Meredith Fort, Mary Anne Mercer, and Oscar Gish

In this pathbreaking collection, international activists and scholars reveal how plans implemented by the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and other first world interests drastically limit access to medical care and essentially sentence millions to disease and premature death. Edited by affiliates of Health Alliance International - a nonprofit organization associated with the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine - Sickness and Wealth provides a historical context for understanding the complex interrelationship between health, politics, and capitalist globalization.
