"...Dying for Growth's sixteen chapters are grounded in the lives of people struggling against a very modem poverty. The volume opens with case studies illustrating the human impact of harsh, externally imposed austerity measures on villages in several African countries and in rural Haiti. Further studies examine the health consequences of privatization in a Peruvian squatter settlement and growing inequality in an urban center of the United States. Chapters also examine the enormous challenges facing Cuba's health care system and the clinics and hospitals of post-perestroika Russia. Another section of the book is devoted to exploring how transnational corporations have come to exert increasing political control in the world and over the health and well being of people everywhere. The section includes cases such as the aftermath of the Bhopal gas disaster and health effects of free trade on a Mexican border town. By closely examining inequalities in health access and outcome, Dying for Growth reveals mechanisms by which reigning ideologies of development affect the health of those living in poverty.
