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…

Neoliberalism and its Consequences
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…
Politics and health outcomes
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…
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…
Introduction
This article introduces a series of research projects (carried out by the International Network on Social Inequalities and Health) focused on the impact of politics on policy and the consequences for health and quality of life, an area that has been understudied in the social science literature. The introduction describes the conceptual model that guided the research, centered on the study of how political parties and social agents (such as trade…
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 …
The Inhuman State of U.S. Health Care
The health sector of the United States is in profound disarray. Even though the United States spends more on health care (14 percent of its GNP) than any other country, we still have problems that no other developed capitalist country faces. Let me list some of them. The first and most overwhelming problem is that no less than forty-four million of our people have no form of health benefits coverage whatsoever. The majority of them are working pe…
A Critique of Social Capital
This article critiques the concepts of communitarianism and social capital as used in the United States and in Europe. For the United States, the author focuses on Robert Putnam's understanding of both concepts, showing that the apolitical analysis of the Progressive Era, of the progressive developments in Northern Italy, and of the situation of labor unions in the United States is not only insufficient but wrong. The critique also includes the d…

Existe uma terceira via? uma resposta à 'terceira via' de Giddens
Discute-se o livro em que Anthony Giddens propõe uma 'terceira via' como solução política mais adequada para às sociedades contemporâneas. Sustenta-se que as posições de Giddens são menos originais do que ele julga, e em vários pontos retomam propostas já bem estabelecidas da Democracia Cristã européia
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 Rainbow Coalition and the Challenge of Class; Racism and Class
Dear Sheila Collins: I have just read your book, The Rainbow Challenge: The Jackson Campaign and the Future of U.S. Politics (Monthly Review Press, 1987). What a treat! When I started reading it I could not stop. I was so absorbed in it that I had to put aside everything else I was doing in order to finish the book. It is an excellent piece! You have put together the best written record of one of the most exciting pages of our history. As an over…

Class and Race
As you may have noticed, class is rarely discussed in the scientific and mainstream media in the United States; it is considered an almost un-American category. In other countries, class is an extremely important category in understanding how people live, work, dress, vote, enjoy themselves, get sick, and die. You hear, see, and smell class in the streets. When you arrive in the United States, however, the whole category of class disappears; the …

The Industrialization of Fetishism or the Fetishism of Industrialization
This article critically assesses the ideology of industrialism in light of Ivan Illich's Medical Nemesis. The paper is divided into three sections. The first section is a description of the main features of that ideology, the most prevalent and influential one used in sociological literature to explain the state both of Western societies and of our health services. Also in this section, it is shown how these features appear in Illich's analysis o…

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…

The Road Ahead
Signs accumulate that the Reagan administration, only a half year into its second term in office, is headed for a crisis, or perhaps more accurately a series of crises, that could develop into a historic turning point comparable to that which engulfed U.S. society in the 1930s. In these circumstances, we see it as the responsibility of the U.S. left to do two things: first, analyze the underlying causes of the process now coming to a head; and se…
