Samenvatting
"
A COVID Charter A Better World outlines the steps needed to reform public policies and fix the structural vulnerabilities that the current pandemic has made so painfully clear. Leading scholar Toby Miller argues that we must resist neoliberalism&;s tendency to view health in terms of individual choices and market-driven solutions because that fails to preserve human rights. He addresses the imbalance of geopolitical power to explain how we arrived at this point and shows that the pandemic is more than just a virus&;it&;s a social disease. By examining how the U.S. Britain Mexico and Colombia have responded to the COVID-19 crisis Miller investigates corporate scientific and governmental decision-making and the effects those decisions have had on disadvantaged local communities. Drawing from human rights charters ratified by various international organizations he then proposes a COVID charter calling for a new world that places human lives above corporate profits."
