520 _a"The Deadly Ideas of Neoliberalism explores the history of and curre nt collision between two of the major global phenomena that have charac terized the last 30 years: the spread of HIV/AIDS and other diseases of poverty and the ascendancy of neoliberal economic ideas. The book expl ains not only how IMF policies of restrictive spending have exacerbated public health problems in developing countries, in particular the HIV/ AIDS crisis, but also how such issues cannot be resolved under these ec onomic policies. It also suggests how mounting global frustration about this inability to adequately address HIV/AIDS will ultimately lead to challenges to the dominant neoliberal ideas, as other more effective ec onomic ideas for increasing public spending are sought. In stark, power ful terms, Rowden offers a unique and in-depth critique of development economics, the political economy dynamics of global foreign aid and hea lth institutions, and how these seemingly abstract factors play out in the real world - from the highest levels of global institutions to Afri can finance and health ministries to rural health outposts in the count ryside of developing nations, and back again." -- Publisher's descripti on.
