Document Summary
Journal of public health policy, 33, 139 : doi:10. 1057/jphp. 2011. 61. The article argues that there are three major crises confronting global health: ongoing financial crises; deepening ecological crises; and rapidly escalating income and wealth inequalities within and between nations. Failure to re-regulate financial capitalism, introduce regulatory standards for transnational companies, or subordinate trade and investment liberalization treaties to development goals and human rights treaties will exacerbate global health inequities into the future. Real economy = wealth that is created through the production and consumption of goods and services. Systematic redistribution of resources both within and between countries, Supranational regulation to ensure a social purpose in the global economy. Enforceable social rights that enable citizens to hold governments and corporations to account. The 2011 rio discussion paper invoked three rs (redistribution, regulation, and rights), noting how those who have suffered most from recent crises in finance, food, and the environment have been those least responsible for creating them.
