Globalização e saúde global / Globalization and global health

ABSTRACT

Is a critical analysis focusing on the globalization issue, the positive and negative evaluation made on it, the opposition to the World Bank and IMF proposals, and question of equity and health care. Emphasizes the necessity for powers and purposes to strike a new balance between them. Say that globalization is not a dirty word, a perverse invention of neoliberalism. It is time we thought of a universal democracy comprizing more than just seven or eight countries, one that should fight for equity and basic human rights; one that may promote the community of interest while opposing the idea that the welfare state was a "historical parenthis" and is now outdated. It is time we thought seriously of a global government. (AU)
