Description
At an epic moment in history, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed deep fault lines of inequality worldwide. This crisis can serve as a wake-up call to re-examine our societies and economies. Toby Miller examines how different countries - the US, Britain, Mexico, and Colombia - are responding to the pandemic through corporate, scientific, and governmental decision-making processes. He also considers the impact on vulnerable communities and the broader geopolitical landscape. Miller argues that the crisis is a further indictment of neoliberalism, which prioritizes market-based healthcare over universal public health. Miller calls for an end to this approach, advocating for a reallocation of resources towards healthcare as a fundamental human right. This book provides a nuanced analysis of the pandemic's effects and potential solutions, shedding light on the need for a new direction in global health policy.
