Representational dynamics during extinction of fear memories in the human brain
Extinction learning-the suppression of a previously acquired fear response-is critical for adaptive behaviour and core for understanding the aetiology and treatment of anxiety disorders. Electrophysiological studies in rodents have revealed critical roles of theta (4-12 Hz) oscillations in amygdala and hippocampus during both fear learning and extinction, and engram research has shown that extinction relies on the formation of novel, highly conte…
Posiciones ideológicas de los periódicos valencianos durante el Trienio Liberal (1820-1823)
El presente trabajo se centra en el conocimiento y análisis de la prensa del Trienio Liberal en Valencia a través de las afinidades o enfrentamientos de los propios periódicos. Desde marzo de 1820, amparados por la libertad de imprenta, surgen periódicos a favor y en contra del nuevo régimen liberal con la intención de influir en la opinión pública a favor de sus ideas. Y aprovechan sus páginas para incluir noticias de los que salen a la luz o de…

El Trienio Liberal (1820-1823) a través de la prensa valenciana
La presse espagnole du Trienio Liberal a joué un rôle idéologique important dans le développement des événements politiques, sociaux et même religieux de ces années. Dans le même ordre d'idées, la presse valencienne a produit des journaux, et d'autres publications d'imprimeurs locaux qui présentèrent des caractéristiques journalistiques différentes. Une partie de celle-ci s’inscrit dans la continuité ; l’autre fut éphémère. Cependant, tous ces él…
Papel de la prensa en la defensa de la libertad. Los mártires del 7 de julio de 1822 y la Oración fúnebre de Miguel Cortés y López
La presse du Triennat libéral fut la vitrine des luttes idéologiques aussi bien pour garantir et/ou poursuivre la révolution que pour rétablir le despotisme de Ferdinand VII dont le cœur ne fut jamais constitutionnel. C’est dans ce contexte que sont traitées les conspirations révolutionnaires du sexennat, l’évolution politique du Triennat, la figure d’Elío, le coup d’état de juillet 1822 et l’Oraison funèbre pour les miliciens morts à cette occas…
Why hasn’t China’s high-profile health reform (2003–2012) delivered? An analysis of its neoliberal roots
In March 2013, China’s so-called fourth generation of leadership stepped down. Upon taking office a decade ago, they launched a series of high-profile health reform programmes, which have often been touted as a prime example of their commitment to prioritizing social welfare. However, throughout their period in power the reform remained remarkably unsuccessful at delivering as promised. This paper explains the failure. Unlike most of the existing…
The Social Crisis of the Eurozone
This article discusses the consequences of the austerity policies promoted by the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the International Monetary Fund and applied to the peripheral countries of the Eurozone, including Spain. In addition to deteriorating the economic conditions of these countries, these policies are hurting the social well-being of their populations.

Consequences of the Privatized Funding of Medical Care and of the Privatized Electoral Process
In the article the author reflects on the U.S. health care system. 47 million Americans are without health insurance coverage and insurance is primarily acquired through employment benefits. He opines that health care problems are caused by the privatization of campaign funding and the organization of medical care. Funding for political candidates comes from private sources such as insurance, pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies. He dis…
What We Mean by Social Determinants of Health
This article analyzes the changes in health conditions and quality of life in the populations of developed and developing countries over the past 30 years, resulting from neoliberal policies developed by many governments and promoted by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, and other international agencies. It challenges interpretations by the analysts of “globalization,” including the common assumption that stat…

La prensa valenciana ante la Guerra del Francés en 1808
La Guerre d’Indépendance (1808-1814), du Français ou Péninsulaire fut incontestablement le grand événement du XIXe siècle espagnol. Elle fut une guerre civile, internationale et totale où tous les moyens ou presque étaient bons pour atteindre le but poursuivi. La presse valencienne choisit le camp des patriotes et constitua un précieux instrument de propagande qui s’ingénia à défendre la Religion, la Nation et le Roi, tout en dénigrant Napoléon d…
Neoliberalism and its Consequences
Health inequalities among the elderly in western Europe
BACKGROUND: This paper analyses gender inequalities in health status and in social determinants of health among the elderly in western Europe. METHODS: Data came from the first wave of the "Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe" (2004). For the purposes of this study a subsample of community-residing people aged 65-85 years with no paid work was selected (4218 men and 5007 women). Multiple logistic regression models separated by sex a…
Neoliberalism as a Class Ideology; Or, the Political Causes of the Growth of Inequalities
Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology permeating the public policies of many governments in developed and developing countries and of international agencies such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and many technical agencies of the United Nations, including the World Health Organization. This ideology postulates that the reduction of state interventions in economic and social activities and the deregulation…
What is a National Health Policy?
Unfortunately, most nation states have taken “health policy” to mean “medical care policy.” Medical care, however, is only one variable in a nation's health equation. The article describes what the main components of a national health policy should be, including (1) the political, economic, social, and cultural determinants of health, the most important determinants of health in any country; (2) the lifestyle determinants, which have been the mos…

The Worldwide Class Struggle
A trademark of our times is the dominance of neoliberalism in the major economic, political, and social forums of the developed capitalist countries and in the international agencies they influence-including the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and the technical agencies of the United Nations such as the World Health Organization, Food and Agricultural Organization, and UNICEF. Starting in the United States during the Carter administration, neoliber…
Is Globalization Undermining the Welfare State? The Evolution of the Welfare State in Developed Capitalist Countries during the 1990s
The authors analyze the evolution of macro-indicators of social and economic well-being during the 1990s in the majority of developed capitalist countries, grouped according to their dominant political traditions since the end of World War II. Their analysis shows that, despite the economic globalization of commerce and finance, “politics still matters” in explaining the evolution of the welfare states and labor markets in these countries; the im…
Is globalisation undermining the welfare state?
This paper analyses the evolution of the welfare states in the majority of OECD countries during the pre-globalisation (1946–80) and globalisation (1980–2000) periods. Our purpose is to find out whether globalisation has produced a convergence towards a smaller welfare state, funded increasingly by non-mobile factors such as labour, property and consumption rather than by mobile factors such as capital. The data presented here challenge the claim…
Políticas de Estado de Bienestar para la equidad

It includes the analysis of the total public social expenditure as well as four of its components: sickness/health care, invalidity/old age, survivors, family/children. Expenditure is analyzed as a percentage of the GNP, and expenditure per capita in purchasing power units. This article shows that there has been an increase since 1993 in the deficit of th…
Inequalities are Unhealthy
The growing inequalities we are witnessing in the world today are having a very negative impact on the health and quality of life of its populations. It is true, as many conservatives and neoliberal authors continue to stress, that health indicators are improving in many parts of the world, including in many underdeveloped countries. But what these authors are not saying is that the rate of improvements in these indicators have slowed down in mos…

The underdevelopment of health of working America
This article presents the health conditions of working America, and provides an analysis of the causes of that situation. It is postulated that the main health problems in the U.S. are due not to prevalent life styles-as the behavioralists indicate-but to the dramatic maldistribution of economic and political power in our society, with the absence of control by the majority of the U.S. population-the working and lower-middle classes-over the work…

The Underdevelopment of Health or the Health of Underdevelopment
In this presentation it is postulated that the present maldistribution of human health resources in Latin America is brought about by the same determinants that cause the underdevelopment of most of that continent. It is indicated that contrary to the theories of development prevalent in the corridors of power and academic circles of developed countries (as well as in the leading circles of developing countries and in the international agencies) …
Policy Without Politics
The extent of coverage provided by a country’s health services is directly related to the level of development of that country’s democratic process (and its power relations). The United States is the only developed country whose government does not guarantee access to health care for its citizens. It is also the developed country with the least representative and most insufficient democratic institutions, owing to the constitutional framework of …

Has Socialism Failed? An Analysis of Health Indicators under Capitalism and Socialism
According to a widely held position in academia and the mainstream press, capitalism has proven superior to socialism in responding to human needs. However, analysis of health conditions of populations continent by continent shows that, contrary to dominant ideology, socialism and socialist forces have, for the most part, been better able than capitalism and capitalist forces to improve health conditions. In the underdeveloped world, socialist fo…

Historical Triumph
Thank you very much for inviting me to comment on the issue, widely debated today, of the assumed superiority of capitalism over socialism. The mainstream media bombard us day after day with the message that the historical conflict between these two approaches to human social development has already been resolved in favor of capitalism. This message is even heard in some sectors of the left in this country: Robert Heilbroner, a political economis…

ON JUNE 24, 2000, THE World Health Organization published its World Health Report 2000, Health Systems: Improving Performance, which ranked countries according to an overall single indicator of the performance of their health care systems.1 This indicator was an aggregate of 3 other indicators that supposedly measured (1) effectiveness of health care (basically, medical care and public health services), (2) responsiveness of the health care syste…
Radicalism, Marxism and medicine
This article presents a critique of recent radical interpretations of medicine and provides an alternative explanation of such interpretations. It analyzes 1) the articulation of medical practices, knowledge, and institutions within specific modes of production and social formations; 2) the dual functions of medicine within capitalist relations of production; 3) the reproduction of power within medicine; and 4) the meaning of capitalist, socialis…

The Fetishism of Industrialization
The Western system of power is in crisis, Consequently, many interpretations of the nature of Western societies are appearing. And of these, "industrialism" is the most prevalent ideology used to explain the nature and form of these societies. Grounded largely in technological determinism and owing much to Max Weber, it suggests that the industrial nature of technology defines social organizations in their entirety. Among the primary characterist…
