Since the early 1980s, neoliberalism or ‘market fundamentalism’ has dominated politics and economics across the globe. In this second, expanded edition of an important book, Ted Schrecker and Clare Bambra consider the effects of four decades of these policies, with special emphasis on the United States and the United Kingdom. They argue that a variety of adverse health outcomes, and in particular health inequalities, must be seen as ‘neoliberal epidemics’: neoliberal because they are associated with the rise of neoliberal politics; epidemics because they have been rapidly transmitted across borders at a rate seen in epidemics of biological contagions. Crucially, the authors argue that neoliberal epidemics require a political cure in the form of a revitalised and equity-oriented social democracy.
