About the Book

Health care today is the object of struggle between commercial forces seeking to make it a field of capital accumulation, and popular forces fighting to keep it – or make it –a public service with equal access for all. this volume focuses on the historical, economic, social and political determinants of health under capitalism, addressing:


* the political and accumulation strategies of 'big pharma';


* the global food industry's production of hunger and obesity;


* capitalism and mental illness; and


* health care as TV soap opera.

Leo Panitch
Leo Victor Panitch, (born May 3, 1945, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is a Distinguished Research Professor of Political Science and Canada Research Chair in Comparative Political Economy at York University. Since 1985, he has served as co-editor of the Socialist Register, which describes itself as "an annual survey of movements and ideas from the standpoint of the independent new left". Panitch himself sees the Register as playing a major role in developing Marxism's conceptual framework for advancing a democratic, co-operative and egalitarian, socialist alternative to capitalist competition, exploitation and insecurity.
