Great and increasing inequities exist between the peoples of the
Third World and those of the First. As well, we find ourselves
threatened by imminent environmental catastrophes largely as a
result of trying to maintain such inequities. This clear and
straightforward text explains the complex origins of such bodies as
the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and others, and
demonstrates the extent to which they exacerbate the problem. The
situation is now so grave that we can no longer afford the luxury
of leaving it to the professionals. We are all involved. We find
ourselves hearing daily news reports of wars, starvation, the
HIV/AIDS pandemic and natural disasters, rendered worse by
inadequate international responses. The United Nations, once seen
as an effective arbiter and mediator in such matters, now finds
itself unable to exercise authority adequately. Third World Health:
hostage to First World Wealth adopts a positive approach and puts
forward various ways in which people at all levels can become more
involved. It addresses the pivotal issue of health in the Third
World and argues that it is very much hostage to the globalization
of trade by and for the benefit of First World agencies.
