Public Health Systems in the Age of Financialization: Lessons from the Center and the Periphery: Studies in Critical Social Sciences / New Scholarship in Political Economy, cartea 260/25

Autor Ana Carolina Lot Canellas Cordilha
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 iul 2023
In Public Health Systems in the Age of Financialization, Ana Carolina Cordilha unpacks policy shifts that have transformed public health systems into vehicles for financial speculation and capital accumulation. While it is commonly thought that these systems are being cut back in the period of financialization, the author shows that current changes in public health financing go far beyond budget cuts and privatization measures. She examines how public health systems are adopting financial instruments and participating in financial accumulation strategies, with harmful impacts on transparency, democratic accountability, and health service provision. With an in-depth study of both the French and Brazilian systems, Cordilha explores the different ways in which this process unfolds in central and peripheral countries.
