The Deadly Ideas of Neoliberalism explores the history of and current collision between two major global phenomena of the last thirty years: the spread of HIV/AIDS and other diseases of poverty and the ascendancy of neoliberal economics. The book explains 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 those problems cannot be resolved under such policies. In stark, powerful terms, Rowden offers a unique, in-depth critique of the political economy of global foreign aid and health institutions.
