Globalização e saúde global

Abstract

THIS PAPER IS a critical analysis focusing on the globalization issue, the positive and negative evaluations made on it, the opposition to the World Bank and IMF proposals, and the question of equity and health care. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for powers and purposes to strike a new balance between them. 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 ht 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the community of interest while opposing the idea that the Welfare State was a "historical parenthesis" and is now outdated. It is time we thought seriously of a global government.
